Waterfront living beyond compare


Some properties you simply own, others become woven into a family's story. Number 17 has been the epitome of waterfront living. A paradise of its own for summers on the water, tennis parties and three children growing up with freedom to roam. Little wonder it's so hard to leave.

The architect was asked to create a home like the bridge of a ship, with views up and down the inlet. That vision is timeless, with warm Douglas Fir ceilings, an absolute north-facing position and multiple decks to follow the sun or a gentle breeze. Sheltered from southerly winds and its own microclimate.

This aquatic playground has you spoilt for choice: skiing, swimming, jet skis and kayaking - all from your doorstep. With vehicle access to the water's edge and the ability to launch a boat around the tide, the water can even be your route to Opito Bay or the Stone Store.

Five bedrooms, three living rooms and two kitchens offer superb flexibility. Separate wings include an eastern zone for the master suite and a self-contained flat at the western end - hugely appealing for intergenerational living or Airbnb income. Everyone has their space, with abundant storage throughout.

The heart of the home is a modern kitchen with quality appliances, butler's pantry and a coffee station. Adjacent is an office nook and family room with direct access to the deck and views.

The grounds are outstanding, made for bringing people together. Tropical and native plantings create an easy-care setting rich with citrus trees and birdlife. Watch the birds dip and dance from the home's elevated position or gather friends for tennis parties under the court's LED floodlights. The pool is a wonderful feature, and just above, the fire pit platform is wired for a spa, close enough to leap into the pool!

A double garage, separate laundry, carport and attached shed (ideal for potting or recycling) complete a home designed for activity and ease.

Downsizing makes this a bittersweet goodbye.
