Tucked away in a quiet corner of Russell Township, this lovely family home with landscaped gardens and a glimpse of Matauwhi Bay is sure to impress.

Built from concrete block and featuring timber cathedral ceilings, this intriguing home is designed around two pavilions. The two living zones are cleverly connected by a stunning breezeway that doubles as a sunroom for winter warmth or a cool spot in summer for reading or afternoon cocktails.

The front door opens into a main living area with interconnected kitchen, dining and cosy lounge areas. Interior comforts include the wood-burner, open fireplace and Panasonic air-conditioner. Upstairs is a double bedroom with en-suite and views of Matauwhi Bay.

The upper pavilion comprises two large double bedrooms and a stunning bathroom, complete with claw bath overlooking the back garden.

Well-established gardens and landscaping includes specimen trees with palms, bananas, taro and bird of paradise providing a tropical feel. The garden also features a Kowhai tree and various fruit trees, making it a haven for birdlife.

On a practical note the large, level, paved parking area below the house has an additional turning area and could allow for building a garage if required. The property is serviced by a 42,000-litre integrated water tank cleverly hidden from view and the home is connected to the town sewer system. There is also a bore, although a new pump is required.

Situated between Russell wharf, Matauwhi Bay and Long Beach, this warm and welcoming property offers a great location from which to enjoy the local lifestyle.
