You'll cherish everything about this picture-perfect home in an exquisite setting that's just a short stroll from Island Bay village in one direction and the beach in the other. It's been renovated to preserve the beauty of its architectural legacy while optimising indoor-outdoor flow to a sunny, private garden for al fresco summertime bliss.

Features include:

- Three double-bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a semi-ensuite that can be easily accessed from the enchanting garden with its sycamore, silver birch and pohutukawa trees
- Versatility of a separate lounge for evening use, complete with double-glazing and working tiled fireplace, and a super-sunny family/dining room that opens to a private veranda and garden for relaxing in leafy serenity
- All the immaculate hallmarks of a charming '30s bungalow, from spectacular Carrara ceilings, bay windows and heart rimu joinery to an ornate hall arch and a delightful front porch with leadlight door (and views over Island Bay)
- Landscaped for relatively low-maintenance with small lawns, wide shallow steps for easy access, and bountiful birdlife, including piwakawaka and the tuis that feast en masse on the kowahi
- Single garage with the convenience of side-door access, under-house storage plus off-street parking for two cars
- Wonderful street appeal in family-friendly location that's close to village shops and cafes, bus routes and the beach, and Island Bay's cycle lanes

No wonder it's been 33 years since this much-loved home was last for sale. If you want to treasure it for just as long, don't miss it viewing.
