76 Reinga Road, Kerikeri, Far North, Northland

Capturing all day sun, the Lookout enjoys panoramic water views from the entrance to Waipapa Stream, across to Skudders Beach and along the Kerikeri Inlet to Doves Bay Marina and beyond to Purerua Peninsula. North-facing, this enviable position with good elevation and simply groomed gardens, orchard and lawns will attract buyers who crave peaceful privacy in close proximity to town yet soak up the feeling of waterfront and rural vistas. Solidly built, it has endured the test of time and, although very liveable as is, the opportunity exists for a buyer with vision and flare to upgrade the home and reposition it in the high-worth range it warrants. The wide breeze-way with sandstone paving provides access to double car garaging and the house entrance with its parquet flooring. Behind the living areas is a sturdy timber lined lift to the second level master bedroom. Here with expansive windows, balcony, office, ensuite and rimu fitted drawers and cupboards you are irresistibly drawn to the captivating views. The ground floor lounge with large stone fireplace and the separate dining room with built-in buffet both open out onto the front terrace. There's easy connection to the kitchen in the centre and the TV room all with its handsome wood burner. A large bedroom with ensuite on this level also takes in the views. The wide entrance also leads out to a huge paved courtyard with spa, saltwater pool, sheltered barbecue area and Alfresco dining. Adjoining the courtyard and spilling onto the pool deck is a two bedroom self-contained flat. This accommodation is just perfect for family, friends, a special needs caregiver or, as an independent granny flat. And that's not all! There's a boat and trailer pad, and small orchard.
