Absolute waterfront

A PLIMMERTON beachfront home with stunning views, four-car garaging and a sleep-out has a deadline sale date of December 12.

The threebedroom, two-bathroom Lockwood house, at 47 Moana Rd, is on a fenced 556-square metre section, with automated gates, across the road from Karehana Bay beach.

Built in the 1980s, it offers a flexible floor plan, with the option of three bedrooms or two and an office, as well as the bonus of an extra bedroom in the largely self-contained sleep-out with Airbnb potential.

There’s also the convenience of two single garages in addition to an internalaccess double-garage under the house that in summer could be opened up to the large front courtyard and used for extra indoor-outdoor living space.

The front door of the 189sqm weatherboard-and-tile roof dwelling opens off a wide, covered deck into an open-plan living/dining room with a high ceiling, woodburner, timber walls and sensational sea views.

The adjoining kitchen has a tiled floor, wall oven, four-burner hob, Miele dishwasher, refrigerator-freezer and breakfast bar.

It opens to a northeast-facing conservatory overlooking the flat lawn and garden at the rear of the property.

The conservatory also can be accessed from the main bedroom, which has two double-wardrobes, extra storage and an ensuite with a shower cabinet, dual-basin vanity and toilet.

Both of the other bedrooms face the sea; one is on a mezzanine level and could double as an office.

The main bathroom incorporates a hideaway laundry and has a shower-overbath, vanity and toilet.

There’s also a workshop and extra storage off the garage.

‘‘This is a gorgeous, easy-care home that will appeal to families and professionals alike,’’ says Jason Clark, of Clark & Co Realty, who’s marketing it with Rebekah Fraser.

‘‘It’s versatile and practical, with the option of using the sleep-out, which already has a bathroom and sinkbench, as a desirable Airbnb this close to the beach.

‘‘You’re also just metres from Cluny Road Park while Plimmerton Village, with its shops and cafes, is just a lovely walk along the waterfront.

‘‘And as well as all the garaging, there’s plenty of space to park a boat or motorhome.’’

The property has a rateable value of $970,000. ADDRESS: 47 Moana Rd, Plimmerton. AGENTS: Jason Clark, phone 027 483 8808 and Rebekah Fraser, phone 021 295 5326.
