60 Ostend Road, Ostend, Waiheke Island, Auckland

Wake up to boats bobbing in the bay from this elevated weatherboard bungalow with sleepout and gorgeous grounds.

With sweeping views across Anzac Bay to the Margaret Reeve peninsula, and a pretty outlook towards Kennedy Point marina, this beautifully kept two-bedroom home is set on a substantial 1,353 sqm (more or less) site on the high side of the road.

The spacious abode projects a feeling of calm and instant happiness. Its warm colour palette and attractive native tawa floorboards exude character and charm. Offering fabulous one-level living, the bungalow's open-plan living space leads out to a large entertainer's deck and patio that capture the sun. Back inside, there's a generous bathroom, two double bedrooms, and a huge study that could also work as a second lounge/media zone.

The pretty-as-a-picture sleepout sits to the rear of the idyllic garden, dotted with sumptuous citrus, Adriatic figs, feijoas and abundant raised vegetable beds - enough to provide self-sufficiency, if desired. With under-house storage, a concrete driveway and garage, it's only a tiny stroll to the water's edge and a short drive to the local boat ramp.

This property feels private while being in a fantastic location, just a few minutes' walk from the supermarket, bus stop and all the amenities of Ostend.

With the vendor relocating, this is a wonderful turn-key opportunity - a home, bach, renter or redevelopment opportunity for someone with even bigger ideas to make the most of this stunning location.
