About this property
‘Tui Haven’First time on the market in 23 years, this much-loved home, in a magical elevated spot overlooking the harbour, may just be the gem you’ve been looking for!
Features You’ll Love
Quiet, no-exit street in a safe and friendly neighbourhood, very close to Chelsea Primary School and Kindergarten, NW supermarket, cafes and restaurants, with Highbury Mall and the city and Hobsonville Point ferry links nearby. A walkway at the bottom of the street leads to a secluded harbour beach and picnic area. Surrounded by birdsong, bush and seaviews, you won’t believe you are this close to the city and to all that the North Shore offers!
Secure, quality, split level 200m2 cedar home with aluminium joinery and a concrete tile roof. Nestled on a tree-framed, sun-drenched and fully fenced section up a long driveway, out of sight, with off-street parking. Gorgeous views over the inner harbour, Kauri Point, Muriel Fisher Reserve and Kauri Park native bush and absolutely stunning sunsets for you to savour!
The top floor of this beautiful home is one massive master suite with a large walk-in robe, ensuite, and spacious deck with lovely bush and water views over to West Harbour Marina. From here, or from your bed, you can watch yachts come and go and swoon over those sunsets that blaze the sky with impossibly beautiful colours. Escape to this sanctuary to star gaze or simply enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, soaking up the ever-changing moods of the harbour.
Downstairs, the double internal-access garage (with a storage room) and a tiled entry foyer both open to two carpeted lounges and an open plan kitchen/dining room. Step down to discover two light-filled bedrooms, a queen and a large single, with sliders opening to the harbour-facing deck. Here you’ll also find a large sunny bathroom, a separate toilet and a dedicated laundry which opens to a garden path leading to a large retractable clothesline.
You’ll love the new kitchen… bamboo flooring, gorgeous granite benches, large mirrored splash-back, concealed range-hood, double sinks, soft-closing cupboards and drawers and three pantries make cooking a breeze and all with a sea view too. The kitchen window is a sliding serve-over to the pretty harbour deck. A fabulous five-burner Belling gas range with electric grill and two electric ovens, sink waste disposal, and Bosch SuperSilence dishwasher are the icing on the cake!
The waterfall bench breakfast bar flows smoothly into the bright and airy dining room, opening to multi-level sunny decks overlooking the harbour, where you can enjoy those sunsets over an evening drink, or dine out under the stars.
The main lounge is cosy in winter with its heat pump and folding doors separating it from the dining room. A Slider off the lounge opens to a tiled courtyard and serene garden, which links left to the rear decks via a meandering garden path, or right to a raised, tranquil seating area and the rear door of the garage. Behind the double garage there’s room for a potting table and garden shed. Under the house, accessed from the rear deck, a lockable door opens to even more storage space.
You’ll enjoy the private, fully fenced back garden, safe for children and pets. This tropical oasis, framed by mature flowering trees and banana palms, is a great place to soak up the sun, or dine in the shade of the giant pohutukawa, enjoying the many visiting tui, kereru, rosellas and fantails. Two large decks step down to lower gardens with perfumed climbing roses, a water feature, and space for a swing seat. Here you’ll also find a raised veggie garden, ready to plant out to nourish your family with fresh homegrown produce.
Throughout this special home there is a wonderful indoor/outdoor flow to multiple decks, offering delightfully different living spaces and scenic spots for relaxing, barbecues and entertaining. Five sliding glass doors welcome the outdoors in, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature anytime, at your leisure. Sun or shade, harbour and bush views or lush gardens, listening to birdsong and trickling water… you choose.
There’s a lot to love at Tui Haven. If you’d like to risk falling in love, please feel free to make an appointment for your personal viewing of this exceptional home…
