50A Bay Road, Ostend, Waiheke Island, Auckland, 1081, New Zealand

Vendors are relocating and offer this central, subtropical family home with garden studio which sits in its own special environment, just a stroll to Palm Beach and a short hop to Ostend. At the end of a private driveway, surrounded by stunning native bush and nikau palms, the generous grounds open up to reveal a gloriously sunny, tranquil setting.

The home’s unique, airy design creates beautiful spaces throughout, from the huge, open-plan living area to its various attractive mezzanine zones. Two double bedrooms, an office and a contemporary family bathroom with double vanity and large shower are up a few steps from the main living space. The next zone to discover is a generous mezzanine media lounge and a study. And up above is an adorable open plan play area with walk in access to the loft, and pretty views of the treetops.

Outside, there’s a charming, covered veranda at the front and fabulous entertaining spaces to the rear, including entertaining decks, lawn, and a private spot for the spa. A handy outdoor shower is across the main deck, close to the laundry. Up a pretty boardwalk, among the swaying nikau, is the ornate garden studio – the perfect place for massage, meditation, or crafts.

With a massive workshop and storage area under the home plus two garden sheds, there’s heaps of parking for cars, and guests on the concrete driveway.

This enchanting property with a peep of the sea is a delightful oasis of peace and tranquility so close to the bus stop and central amenities.
