23 Balmoral Drive, Kelvin Peninsula, Queenstown-Lakes, Otago, 9300, New Zealand
The Kelvin Heights area is the jewel in the Queenstown crown, basking in all day sun and surrounded by water. 23 Balmoral Drive has been purpose built to maximise the sun, as well as the outstanding lake views that this area offers.
This family home is a generously proportioned four bedroom home. Each bedroom has its own built-in wardrobe and unique view, as well as outdoor access to the garden, or the upstairs bedroom to the deck. You are warm all year round, with great winter sun here. For convenience there is also a heat pump and multiple night store heaters throughout the home, as well as a log burner in the main living area.
You will find the kitchen in the heart of this home. A walk in pantry keeps the clutter away, and the open plan design makes entertaining and hosting guests even more sociable. The entrance way doubles as a conservatory, capturing the morning sun making it an ideal place to enjoy your breakfast or morning cuppa. The large established garden features stacked stone walls and multiple evergreen plantings keep the home private all year round.
One thing we find lacks in many homes is storage, but this home has plenty of storage areas throughout the home, as well as a double garage for the cars and toys. The over sized fourth bedroom could double as a workshop or a home office.
23 Balmoral Drive is in a great elevated position. The Bay View reserve & Lake Wakatipu are only a 10min walk away, where you will find scenic walking and biking tracks as well as multiple swimming spots and the Jetty for the Queenstown Water Taxi. The Hilton is just a short drive where you can choose from fine dining, café, restaurants and bars, plus there’s a day spa and a hair salon. Your closest golf course is an easy 3km drive down the road. Beyond the abundance of facilities on your back door step in Kelvin Heights, Queenstown’s main shopping hub, local primary school and the Wakatipu High School is just 8kms away as well as the international airport.
The views across Kelvin Grove, Queenstown Golf Course and Lake Wakatipu up to Mount Nicholas are simply jaw-dropping and have to be seen to be believed. Every long standing resident in Queenstown has a soft spot for Kelvin Heights, and it’s not without reason. Famous for year round all day sunshine, and executive family homes, it is no wonder properties in Kelvin Heights are always high on the wish list.
