Exceptional Estuary Frontage In Mapua

Set well back from the road, this peaceful 1075 square metre waterfront property offers a relaxed way of living in an exceptional coastal environment. Situated in a tranquil estuarine cove, its proximity to the water's edge, views and generous entertaining areas create an idyllic setting for the superbly designed 281 square metre home and studio unit.

This stunning home features a large formal living room, open plan dining and kitchen area, master suite with ensuite and separate sitting room, two further bedrooms, an office/laundry room and a large internally accessed double garage.

The views are mesmerising as they extend over the Waimea Inlet to Rabbit Island, the camping ground and Mapua channel, as it sweeps towards Tasman Bay. At low tide, it is an easy stroll to the restaurants and bars at Mapua Wharf, or past the camping ground to Ruby Bay.

Completed at the end of 2004, the two level home has been finished to the highest standard. The house was reconfigured and renovated in 2012. A new open-plan sitting room, dining area and designer kitchen were built. Glazed bi-fold stacking doors and windows were installed in the living and dining areas and kitchen and the interior was repainted throughout.

In addition to new fencing, extensive hardwood decks were built along the estuary frontage to encompass the views and create a choice of outdoor living areas. A built-in pizza oven, with counters and wall lights on each side, was fitted in the walled barbeque courtyard. An existing double garage was converted to a studio unit, which provides an additional source of income, with little work. It would also be suitable for elderly parents.
