The section is elevated with prominent, ever changing water views of Quail Island, Lyttelton harbour and the surrounding Port Hills. There are beautiful sunrises and sunsets and various water sports to watch on the harbour.

This two-level home has macrocarpa weatherboard cladding and the low maintenance Swiss-made timber joinery is double glazed with an external aluminium covering. The North facing windows and glass doors passively heat the home in the winter and cool it in the summer. There are eight solar panels and an efficient wet back wood burner for additional heating, with the excess heat being transferred downstairs.

An aesthetic feature of the interior is the use of a variety of decorative timbers throughout, with attractive solid timber tongue and groove floors, downstairs Rimu and upstairs Ash. The interior panel doors are Rimu and a combination of Rimu and Cedar.

The lower level contains a bathroom and two double bedrooms each with water and garden views. There is also an additional living room, laundry and workshop.

Upstairs contains the open plan kitchen, dining and lounge room and the spacious main bedroom and ensuite. There is also a further separate lounge or office room. A feature of the upstairs is the sloping, patterned eucalyptus match lining ceilings. There is a good balance between decorative timber and painted walls.

The kitchen cabinet fascia is eucalyptus match lining. The main bench top is heart Kauri. The wet bench top is patterned granite.

There is an expansive North and West wrap around deck for you to enjoy. The carefully landscaped section is maturing into a beautiful productive and ornamental garden. There is a mixture of fruit trees, native and ornamental plants and an established vegetable garden.
