2 Moore Street, Waimataitai, Timaru, Canterbury

Majestically sited upon, quite possibly, one of South Canterbury's most beautiful sections, with exceptional elevated views from the Benvenue Cliffs over Ashbury Park, Southern Alps, Hunter Hills and the ever-beautiful Caroline Bay, this home was designed and built by my lovely vendors who have decided, reluctantly, that it is time for them to down-size.

Spanning two generous levels this gorgeous home has a total footprint over 300m2. A timber stairwell greets the eye upon entry and leads to the first floor where the sea views are truly captivating, full height glazing emphasises the ever-changing vista from every angle. The designer kitchen is positioned in the centre of the dining and living areas to make the most of the view and allow seamless flow to the sun-drenched balcony. The master suite is cleverly designed to encapsulate every magnificent sunrise and is perfected by a private ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. A second bedroom, or maybe an office space, with separate toilet, completes the upper level.

This is a perfect example of when a vision becomes a reality - when a design brief is purposefully thought out, and executed brilliantly, down to the final detail. The main requirement was the ability to entertain family and friends year-round, with the possibility of offering a bespoke Bed-and-Breakfast with views like no other.

The ground floor comprises two double bedrooms, each room being lockable and having a private en-suite. A kitchenette is situated within a spacious open plan dining/living area which opens out to a sheltered patio. The full-length windows in this space enhance the contrasting colours of the greenery in the private garden and the turquoise waters of the bay beyond.

Guests can watch ships come and go from the port, take a stroll along one of my favourite walks or immerse themselves in the tranquility of this beautiful space.

To complete this superior package, one half of the internal double garage boasts extra height and length to accommodate a caravan or boat, and the original standalone single garage offers added flexibility for the toys or tinkerer.

In my opinion this special property is the epitome of what our beautiful town is about ... sunshine, ocean, mountains, nature, beauty. All at your doorstep.
