3 Gates Road, Waikanae Beach, Waikanae Beach, Kāpiti Coast

Sun-kissed Kiwi Chic

With the golden orb of the sun overhead all year round, this classic 1950s Kiwi home is perfectly positioned for sun, warmth and light.\nIn one of Waikanae Beach's most private streets, this native timber build finds itself enjoying sun-drenched days. You'll find yourself standing in the back yard gazing toward the majestic eastern hills - uninterrupted views are yours for the taking. \nThe classy interior has the feel of a funky well-designed upmarket apartment. The living and kitchen areas bask in the north-facing aspect. Step outside the kitchen door and you find yourself on a large wooden deck, offering more useable areas for outdoor dining, bbq space and just serious relaxation and play. \nIf the heart of the home is the kitchen in your books, then you'll love this fresh, modern kitchen with lots of appealing features. The bigger than usual stove, a De Longhi, with gas hobs and electric oven, will be a delight for foodies. A big free-standing work bench and breakfast bar means that the main food preparer will always be part of the scene and know what's going on in the house.\nDo you want three bedrooms - or two plus office/study - you choose. The bathroom has an over-bath shower and separate toilet. Laundry facilities are tucked neatly behind louvre doors in the kitchen. \nOutside there are good decks and clever landscaping that make the most of this sloping section. This place is a sanctuary - a place to come and unwind after a hard day's work. There's no one looking over your fence, it's a piece of paradise with cafes, the beach and outdoor attractions right on your doorstep. Your only uninvited guests will be the plentiful birds that find the local area so appealing.\nThe home was a former government house in Miramar. It came by sea on a barge to the Kapiti Coast - now that's something you don't hear about very often. The owners have recently painted the exterior with modern tasteful tones which settle the home beautifully into the surrounding environment.\nGates Road has only four houses and enjoys the benefits of a cul de sac location. The owners are serious about selling, so this is now your chance to get yourself something really quite special. Call now for an appointment to view.\n\nDenise Landow Phone 027 290 6009.\n
