Nestled in a tightly-held street in beautiful Akaroa, you'll find this wonderful home just begging to be loved as much as the current owners have done for the last sixteen years. Being a mere 200m walk to beautiful Georges Bay, or one kilometre to the Peron Dunes beach, your morning walks will be an absolute pleasure, as you contemplate your activity list for the day. With three generous bedrooms (plus office), two family zones with feature jarrah floorboards, sunny outdoor entertaining area and an expansive garden to lose yourself in, you'll understand why this home has been a joy for the current owners to live in. The large kitchen has a stunning North-facing picture window looking onto beautiful lawn and a healthy stand of silver birch and other ornamental trees. The garage (of all garages) is fully lined, measures an impressive 14x7m, and has a door clearance of 2800mm for the caravan or boat. This space includes extensive workshop benches and storage. The fully fenced rear garden (backing onto a Parks' nature reserve) offers room to play and further develop, thanks to the 1207m2 block. Due to the 6kW solar PV system, the current owners never receive a power bill greater than $60 per month, and with the 23,000 litre water tank, you also have the ability to switch between town and tank water at your discretion. Akaroa is a sought-after location due to its close proximity to the bay, boat ramps and the quietness of its few streets. Living in Akaroa means you have access to the abundant activities the East Coast offers including fishing, surfing, diving, mountain biking, bush walking and wine trails in an area renowned for its natural beauty, while having a peaceful haven to return to with only one neighbour. The vibrant town of St Helens is a mere 11 minutes' drive away, offering an excellent selection of restaurants and cafes, as well as the new hospital, school, two supermarkets and hardware.
