Mid-century haven with tranquil outlook

News Editor

This charming mid-century residence, featuring five bedrooms, including a self-contained apartment, has been a beloved family home for its current owners.

With its tranquil rural outlook, expansive design, and abundant outdoor space, it has been the perfect setting for countless joyful moments. Built in 1970, this property is a stunning example of mid-century modern architecture, showcasing clean lines, a brick exterior, and large windows that invite natural light and offer beautiful views.

While the home – a generous 260 square metres (or thereabouts) has been tastefully refurbished to suit modern living, it retains its original design character, making it an ideal forever family home.

Comfort is guaranteed year-round with double glazing and a DVS system, while plush carpeting adds an extra touch of luxury.
The main home includes four spacious bedrooms plus a generously sized office, ideal for those who work from home.

The ground level includes a contemporary, self-contained apartment that is perfect for extended family, an Airbnb, a teen retreat, or more.

This versatile space features a comfortable lounge and dining area, a kitchenette, a
modern tiled bathroom, a spacious bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, and easy access to the large garden.

Upstairs, the open-plan main living, dining, and kitchen area provides a generous,
flowing space with expansive, serene views across the river to the distant hills. The sleek, modern kitchen, complete with a butler’s pantry, is a delight for cooking and
entertaining.

Two decks provide the perfect spots to relax and soak in the peaceful surroundings, overlooking the river and lush paddocks. Abundant storage is provided throughout this home.

Nestled on a 2000 square metre-plus freehold section, this property offers plenty of room for the entire family to spread out and enjoy, surrounded by fruit trees and greenery and a fantastic space for children to explore.  There is also a double garage and ample parking and turning space for convenience.

The current owners have loved the peaceful setting and how perfect it has been to raise a young family with the abundant space and rural outlook.

A bonus is having the domain just minutes away and great walking tracks running along the river on your doorstep. They also have fabulous neighbours, they say.

Tucked away from the road and set on one of Edgecumbe’s largest sections, this residence offers timeless style, comfort, and peace, making it the perfect family home in an idyllic location.
