Property listing ID: 830761
This sunlit roomy three bedroom bungalow sits just metres from Omiha Rocky Bay beach and Kauakarau Bay. Nestled in bush, palms and home to a dozen fruiting olive trees, and prolific fig, lemon and loquats, you'll soon make friends with the kereru who dive across the spacious deck looking for lunch. Built in 1950, this gorgeous wooden home has been tweaked and tidied over 70 plus years. Freshly painted and packed with charming features like leadlight windows, barn-style doors and a marble mosaic bathroom floor, there's plenty to delight. Upstairs: two Queen bedrooms, a large living room, a dining room, kitchen with ample storage, a bathroom complete with bath and separate loo. Downstairs: a third Queen bedroom, and a spacious rumpus or living room - however you want to use it for family or friends. The practical stuff: timber floors upstairs and painted concrete downstairs. A laundry includes a washer & dryer for damp togs and towels. There's plenty of utilitarian storage where you'll find the pump and always-on UV water filter. The water tank holds 5,000 gallons, and there's an emergency tank for especially hot summers. The dog-friendly fully-fenced backyard slopes up to a fab view back to Auckland and gates take you through a reserve to a beach. There's plenty of potential up there for a shed or just a platform to soak in the view. There's off-street parking, a carport and a wood stack to fill the brand new wood burner. You are a few steps away from the iconic Rocky Bay Memorial Cruising Club where an astonishingly great value membership offers access to dinghy lockers, kayak storage and the jetty. It's a bay where you can safely moor your boat and just wander up to your new home.
