This four-bedroom family home combines extraordinary sea views with sunny indoor-outdoor living in a quiet street handy to Island Bay's shops and cafes. The aspect is spectacular whatever the weather, from watching dramatic storms rolling in to basking in breathtaking sunsets, while the Southern Walkway's on the doorstep.

Features include:

- Four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including master with ensuite and the flexibility of using the downstairs bedroom to work from home

- Spacious living and dining with double-glazing that opens to decking on either side: one north-facing for fantastic sun, the other with stunning Cook Strait views

- High glazing for great natural light while heat pumps in the lounge and hall will keep you cosy and comfy year-round

- Wonderful indoor-outdoor flow to dual decks, one of which links to a huge west-facing courtyard and a terraced lawn and garden with space to grow vegetables

- Borders the Southern walkway for scenic strolls and jaw-dropping views in all directions, from the city to the South Island

- Internal garage and off-street parking just metres from bus stops, so couldn't be better positioned for public or private transport

This is a rare chance to buy a fabulous family home that's for sale only because the reluctant vendors are relocating to Auckland.
