On an elevated site amongst the trees and greenery, this home feels like the luxury version of a Robinson Crusoe tree hut. An image which may be at odds with the one feature the current owners like best about the home - that it's bathed in sunlight and provides both a warm, winter haven and a lazy summer retreat. The different levels of the home work seamlessly, separating bedrooms and giving privacy for all the kids, from the small through to the teenager and, just as importantly, to the adults as well. The main bedroom and baby's room, or perhaps an office, span the top floor, offering open views and the soothing backdrop sounds of a rolling ocean. The next floor plays host to a further bedroom, the family bathroom, and the living area. Two gorgeous deck areas fan off either side of the living room. The one to the east, with louvretec roofing and a wall heater, if ever needed, is the perfect spot for the morning cuppa. On the other side, an outside wood fire provides the ideal backdrop for evening drinks and a good natter with friends. On the ground level is located the teenager's hideaway, their bedroom, along with a huge rumpus area, serving a twin purpose of hosting gatherings away from 'the olds' but also playing second fiddle as the home office. The location puts you in easy reach of Omanu Primary, Mount Intermediate and College, and just a short stroll to the beach and Omanu surf club. With off-street parking for at least three vehicles, a large storage shed - cleverly integrated into the landscape with rooftop garden, a woodshed and oodles of storage compartments, this home beautifully balances the practical with an immensely inviting vibe.
