Paradise on the Peninsular

House - Ostend Auckland

This enchanting seaside home is located on a tranquil peninsular with exceptional views up and down Putiki Bay and out over the gulf. Sitting across three separate titles, the lovely traditional gardens enfold the home like a warm hug, providing a sense of calmness and privacy with bushes, roses, fruit trees, and lovely lawn areas. Your own water bore allows you to keep the gardens in top shape and there’s room to add a pool.

Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, in the heart of Waiheke, the home is just a short walk to the bus stop, the Ostend shops and cafes or down to the boat ramp to sail away your cares. There is also a track leading down to the gently lapping waters of the bay for your summer swims as the dolphins and orcas drift peacefully by.

The property includes a four-bedroom home with a garage, plus a cute shed. The home features original kauri joinery, Axminster carpets, a couple of heat pumps, a beautiful bespoke front door and two bathrooms to help you rest and relax; all a charming nod to its 1920’s heritage.

Upstairs, there are two sizeable bedrooms with romantic Juliet balconies and magnificent views. The master has a walk-in robe and a private sundeck overlooking the water. The lower level includes another two bedrooms and a long, open-plan study area with views of the bay, perfect for multi-generational families.

The spacious kitchen-diner has plenty of room to chef it up for your family and friends and in summer you can dine out on the raised deck area, where you can bask in the sunshine, drinking in those exquisite coastal views. When the winter chill arrives, rug up on the second covered patio keeping warm by the open-air woodburner.

Alternatively, the development potential of this property is substantial. You can either improve the existing home to your liking or, with three separate titles, add a cottage to tap into the rental market or start over from the ground up with your own ‘Grand Design’.

This property is the very definition of a charming fairy-tale home, with simply magical surroundings and to-die-for views. Places like this just don’t come along that often, so take hold of the chance and begin the next phase of life’s adventure.
