A glorious oasis of garden, native bush and gorgeous birdsong is for sale in Waikanae for the first time in 28 years. The delightfully-secluded four-bedroom house, at 46 Kohekohe Rd, was built in 1965 and 30 years later architecturally renovated by Dudley Roy & Tulloch. It’s set down a long, landscaped driveway on a verdant 1960-square metre section with an English-style country garden, complete with old-fashioned roses, citrus and a large flat lawn, and a stand of native bush that includes a walkway and a rare white kauri. The front door of the 160sqm home opens off a north-facing veranda that also can be accessed from the lounge with its gas fireplace on wetback and polished floorboards that extend into the dining area. The latter has a window seat and bi-fold windows to the garden, where a lovely birch tree affords summer shade for alfresco entertaining, while the open-plan kitchen includes an electric range and dishwasher. The bedrooms and bathrooms are in a separate wing. Two of the bedrooms open to the garden and the main bedroom has built-in storage and an ensuite with a walk-in shower. Other features include a utility shed, double-garage with workshop area, carport, and space to park a motorhome or boat.
