Visitors are stopped in their tracks by such a dynamic waterscape! A sensory overload of ever-changing views of the marina below, friendly jostle and banter of boaties preparing for a day on the water, birdsong from a tranquil native bush -what an incredible three-bedroom, two bathroom property, with front row seats in stunning Doves Bay! Boating enthusiasts you know this area well, and such prime waterfront positions are rare to unfold, do not let this chance slip by.

Originally designed and built by a well-respected architect and enjoyed as his own home, the 220sqm footprint was given full respect to sunshine hours and shelter across the 3,126sqm site. A choice of decks make entertaining possible across each season - the circular deck is perfect for large groups, while the upper deck is a wonderful spot for drinks. Or feed your soul with a picturesque bush and garden backdrop on the rear deck, it's all been diligently marked out for those who love to entertain. Two hidden tracks on the property lead you straight down to the marina, or to the water's edge for kayaking - boaties and water babes, this is such a bonus!

A guest wing with separate access opens up excellent B and B possibilities, or simply an area for growing kids to command their own space. The master bedroom has an ensuite with bath - check out that view! The spa pool is also reached directly off the master bedroom. Our vendor's favourite room is the kitchen, remodelled to a high level with granite benches and Miele appliances. An office overlooking the garden is a quiet spot, or could make an ideal nursery.

Best kept secret? You'll co-exist with Kiwi! Nesting on the property and probing around on the front lawn at night, unbelievable! Birdsong from Wood Pigeons and Tui will also be part of your lifestyle bundle.

An exclusive coastal address, matched by a home with heart and so
