88a Wharf Road, Ostend

Serene summer days beckon from this large residential landholding set in an enchanted waterfront locale. With a three bedroom, two bathroom home, a detached one-bedroom visitor facility, plus a separate office studio, there is still abundant space to spread out around the substantial 1,887 sq m grounds. The main home has two large bedrooms on the ground floor with access to a patio. There's also a study, a laundry and a family bathroom with shower on this level. While all three bedrooms have deep built-in wardrobes, the master suite upstairs has its own deck overlooking the pretty garden. Also on the top floor, the sunny, open-plan living area boasts a kitchen with granite bench tops and bespoke glass splash-back, as well as a sizeable covered deck overlooking tranquil Putiki Bay. The detached visitor facility features a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a good-sized living area with kitchen, and a private front deck with romantic views over the bay. At the back of the visitor facility is a huge storage room while, nearby, is a large garden shed. The character-filled office studio is set away from the main buildings. Once you're up the sealed driveway, it's relatively flat - a rare treat for hilly Waiheke - with plenty of parking for cars and the boat. This beautiful garden was once a feature property in the popular Waiheke Island Garden Safari. The gently sprawling grounds feature both lawn and subtropical plantings, with feijoa, plums, banana palms and olives dotting the landscape. An attractive central entertainment hub comprises outdoor pizza oven, barbecue area and delightful built-in benches above which grape vine tendrils clamber for the sun. Potential to make your own landscaping mark on this generous site, if desired, and there's certainly room for a pool. So near the central hub of Ostend, close to the boat ramp & three schools, this sizeable subtropical paradise is in a league of its own.
