12 Eden Terrace, Onetangi, Waiheke Island, Auckland, 1081, New Zealand
It’s just a stroll to the Onetangi shoreline from this beautifully presented, north-facing home, set among idyllic grounds on a rare, flat site.
The generous three -bedroom, two-bathroom house, relocated in 2020, is set back from the road, among the tranquil flora.
The home’s heart is a spacious open-plan design with designer woodburner and contemporary kitchen. It opens to a huge wraparound deck with plenty of shade for entertaining, and sea views over the gulf to Great Barrier Island. Upstairs are two bedrooms along with the master bedroom and en-suite.
Dreamy semi-rural views of vines and olives are in one direction, with the sparkling sea to the north.
Back downstairs there’s a laundry and second bathroom. Outside, the glorious easy-care garden with a Mediterranean feel yields discoveries around every corner.
The beautiful circular box-hedged lawn is the perfect place to renew your vows, a secret water-feature garden area is a place to read or meditate, and the pretty pathways among topiary, flowers, figs and olives are set to soothe the soul.
With flat parking for several cars and the boat, you are just metres from the corner store, garage, takeaways and bus stop and a short walk to the sea and beach restaurants.
This is a gorgeous forever-home or fantastic holiday abode, not far from award-winning vineyards and the best of beach life.
