Situated just above the road and enjoying all day sunshine all year round, this solid single-level 1940s Home will make someone’s dreams come true. Walk up a few steps to the front lawn and enter the very charming, open plan Living room which then takes you through to the kitchen and out through French doors to the lovely, level lawn and garden area. With his and hers garden sheds there’s room for all. The garden also tells the story. Private and sheltered, it has created a microclimate nurturing fruit trees, such as Fig, Feijoa, crab apples and thornless blackberry. The owners, over many years, have planted the sloping rear 1/3 of the section, with regenerating native bush and trees controlling weed species, providing a perfect environment for abundant bird life, including Tui, Fantail, Grey Warblers, Silvereye’s, NZ native falcon, Kereru and Kaka.

The house is comprised of two bedrooms and one bathroom with the open-plan northern side of the house providing views of Lyall Bay and beyond. It has a high stud attic space with fold-down stairs and potential for a Loft bedroom/studio

Located on the bus route close to great South Coast walks, the Taputeranga Marine Reserve with views to the occasional visits of dolphins, orca and whales to the bay. The highly regarded Houghton Bay school is just a short walk away. Having the same owners for 30 years speaks to just how wonderful it is.
