Set off a quiet, cul de sac above Little Oneroa beach where properties are tightly-held, this near-clifftop position will captivate you. It may also surprise you with its sense of completeness, comfort and convenience.

Enter the property via a generous foyer on the ground floor. Well-separated by classic glass doors is a hallway leading at opposite ends to 3 bedrooms (2 double and 1 single). The doubles have two neighbouring bathrooms, one with a utility area and independent access to a carport and, an artfully- landscaped, low-maintenance garden.

An open-plan living-dining-kitchen on the top floor with vaulted ceilings allows views over Oneroa Bay to be relished. Surrounded by double-glazed bi-fold doors and windows (aluminium exterior timber interior) the space flows onto north and west-facing entertaining decks. This level includes a guest WC.

Elevated, green views are enjoyed from this level with the highlight being spectacular sunsets melting over Oneroa headland during our Indian summers, and a constant flotilla of boats moored in the bay.

The lower floor includes convenient storage areas, and a tidy workshop/recreation room, (which would also make an ideal wine cellar). Choose to enter the back garden from here to pick fresh tomatoes or walk through to a superb double garage - this internal access allowing comfort in all seasons and weather.

A public track provides a 5 minute route down to Little Oneroa beach for a morning swim or the bus to the passenger ferry. Oneroa village shops and restaurants are a stroll away.
