Hidden Depths
Secluded and tranquil, this lovely property has a lot to tempt buyers who want more than their fair share of views and excellent convenience, as well as the chance to make their purchase work well for them.
Located in the charming rural settlement of Mahana and only around a 5 minute drive from SH60 and Mapua, this home is also only a' stone's throw' from a pleasant winery and a delightful primary school. Set back along a drive that confers good privacy, the elevated position offers expansive views of Mount Arthur and the Ranges in one direction, and Tasman Bay and D'Urville Island in the other.
The stucco residence was built in 1954 and retains many vintage features, such as original joinery and a wood-burning fire set into a river stone hearth, along with some more recent upgrades, such as a heat pump and modern sanitary ware.
The open-plan living/dining area and the adjoining kitchen are spacious, with sliders opening onto a large entertaining terrace that's so sheltered it has its own microclimate. Located off the internal hallway are four double bedrooms, the bathroom and a separate shower room with a toilet, while underneath the home is a single garage. The decor is traditional but with scope for various upgrades in the future. Separate from the house is a sunroom/office, ideal for a professional who works from home, or anyone keen on hobbies.
Outside, there are generous grounds with enchanting gardens and walkways, space to grow vegetables, grazing for a pony and room for the children to roam. There's also parking, a further garage and carports outbuildings; a collection in fact! There's a large shed with raised storage platforms and an inspection pit, a workshop with three-phase power, plus a shade house and wood store; what unexpected bonuses.
The exterior and roofs have been painted and the property is clean and tidy, just shift in and settle before deciding on any changes. Call us to view; you'll be so glad you did!
