One of the earliest houses on Scarborough. On the market for the first time in 60 years, close to the beach, and walk or ride-on access. There is also access from the uphill side.

Unparalleled views from most rooms, the two covered decks, and outside seating areas which cannot be built out.

Beautiful, colonial-style, Cecil Wood home circa 1914 with many original features, rimu panelling, built-in furniture, lead lights etc. with a 1960s addition, also in rimu, which extends on two levels up the hill. Further extensions with sunroom, laundry and second covered deck added by the present owners.

This 195sqm home is on a 1,320sqm section, with a cycle store/workshop and plenty of space for further developments, such as a granny flat, Air BnB or pool. The mature garden has fruit trees and numerous flowering plants.

There is a veranda opening off the main reception room which features a log burner, dining alcove, a separate kitchen with granite and marble work surfaces, a dining/sunroom, three bedrooms (one used as a study), and a main bathroom; finished in marble with double spa bath, second bathroom, separate toilet and laundry alcove. Upstairs has 360 degree views, with two rooms on split levels, a guest bedroom, and a study with a hideaway sink bench.

The home has double glazing in most downstairs rooms and a solar power and water system.

Most rooms were relined and redecorated after the earthquakes.
