seaside cottage
Delightful and charming home in a stunning situation nestled on the banks of the Manukau Harbour with its own private jetty. Originally, a cute weatherboard bach built around the 1940s. Renovated and extended later to create a lovely and quirky family home. You enter through a private and sheltered courtyard, partially covered with a pergola and surrounded by a gorgeous courtyard garden. The moment you come through the gate you feel you have left the bustle of the city behind you.
The home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate dining area and two living areas spread over two levels. Doors open to a large deck where you can relax and unwind while you entertain family and friends over-looking the Manukau Harbour. A perfect spot to enjoy the summer evenings. There are not many places where you can take the children fishing without leaving the property, or have a dingy on the chattel list.
Location is everything and this property has it. In zone for the popular Hillsborough Primary School and conveniently handy to motorway links and the airport. Right on your doorstep are the coastal walks around the beach and park at Taylors Bay and the Taumanu Reserve.
In the past this cottage was a bach, next it was remodeled and enjoyed by the same family for 25 years, now we wonder what its future holds. Perhaps a renovation? Or is it the perfect spot to build your dream home? Will you be part of this property's future? Come and take a look.
