You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to sunny spots to sit while enjoying a cup of coffee, a glass of wine or a barbeque dinner. This beautifully presented three bedroom home plus office has it all - extensive decks for entertaining family and friends and an opportunity to follow the sun as it moves around the property, all the while enjoying superb rural, estuary, sea and mountain views. It is an ever-changing panorama of sunlit landscapes, sparkling water, snow-capped mountains and spectacular sunsets. A sheltered step-down courtyard provides an alternative area to relax in a pretty garden setting.
Situated at the high point of Hill Street in Richmond, just a few minutes from schools, parks, shops and commercial buildings, the property is located in a safe- serene environment. Quiet and private, it is set well back from the road, down a driveway with lockable gates. Surrounding properties are owned mainly by retirees.
Completed in December 2006, the 221 square metre two-level home faces northwest to maximise the sun and views. Exterior construction combines plaster and Linea weatherboard walls in pale tones of Resene Surrender, a neutral silvery-grey, with Grey Friars aluminium joinery, an asphalt shingle roof and cedar fascias and garage door. A white weatherboard garden shed features a matching asphalt shingled roof.
The easy-care 637 square metre section is terraced and tastefully landscaped and planted. It requires very little maintenance and has allowed the owners to travel for months at a time. Established trees and shrubs attract numerous birds, including tuis and fantails and there are maturing fruit trees, a prolific passion-fruit vine, raised boxed vegetable and strawberry gardens and a sunny bank brimming with herbs.
