Set over two levels on a 687m² section, this 185m² home has a calm, lived-in feel, with sun, privacy and those lovely Waikawa views doing plenty of the heavy lifting. It will suit buyers wanting flexibility: families with older kids, people working from home, or anyone keen on a home that gives everyone a bit of breathing room.

Upstairs, the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is light-filled and relaxed, with timber-toned finishes, a neutral palette and large sliders opening to the long, elevated deck. The well-appointed kitchen has generous bench space, an island breakfast bar, good storage, a wall oven, electric cooktop and a black rangehood. A wood burner adds warmth and atmosphere through the cooler months, and the outlook from both the living area and deck gives the whole level a lovely sense of beauty and expanse.

Accommodation is well arranged, with four bedrooms across the home. The main bedroom is a particularly appealing retreat, opening to the deck and taking in the view. Another upstairs bedroom is generous, while the third would work well as a child’s room, nursery or study. The main bathroom is fresh and modern, with a tiled shower, floating-style vanity and a separate toilet. Downstairs, the extra bedroom sits alongside a second bathroom, separate laundry and a large additional living area that could easily become a media room, teen hangout or guest retreat.

Outside, there's a covered patio below, wide decking above, raised planter boxes, productive garden beds, a garden shed, and pockets of landscaping that have been thoughtfully done over time. Kids can roam, you can grow your own veg, and there is still plenty of practical appeal with substantial garaging and off-street parking.

Waikawa has long been loved for its connection to the water and the Marlborough Sounds lifestyle. Waikawa Marina is the largest of Marlborough’s three marinas, and from here you're also only around 10 minutes from Picton’s cafés, shops and supermarkets.
