Architectural Omaha retreat - rural backdrop

With a direct path to the beach from your section - this architecturally designed beach house is the perfect fusion of contemporary style and relaxed coastal living. There's a sense of being transported to a secluded rural retreat, yet the beach is just a short walk away with no roads to cross. Positioned on a generous section, this home has been tightly held for some 20 years.

At the heart of the home lies a central loggia, a truly unique space with a Louvretec roof that enhances the indoor-outdoor flow. The polished river stone edging and wood-burning fire create a captivating ambiance, making it an inviting space for winter gatherings. In summer, the vast sliding doors open completely, allowing the sea breeze to flow through and cool the home. The kitchen and family room, featuring a charming potbelly stove, offer a cosy setting in the cooler months, while in warmer weather, the open-plan design seamlessly connects to the loggia, inviting children to run freely between their bedrooms and the shared living spaces.

Three bedrooms open directly onto the loggia, sharing a centrally located bathroom. An internal access garage and separate laundry add to the home's convenience, while upstairs, the master suite enjoys a private, elevated position. With breathtaking rural views across the Takatu Peninsula, this tranquil retreat is complete with an ensuite and ample wardrobe space.

An outdoor shower is perfectly positioned at the rear close to the pathway leading to the tennis courts, beach, and quarry walk, making post-swim rinses effortless - your own extraordinary coastal retreat. As day turns to night, the home takes on a whole new atmosphere, offering an enchanting backdrop for entertaining and relaxation.
