Omori Hideaway With Room For Everyone
You arrive at 49 Kaimanawa Street and drop down the drive to a private rear section, where everything feels tucked away and quiet. On the lower level you’ll find the practical heart of the property: a fully carpeted, approximately nine-metre-deep garage with an extra-height door, purpose-built for the boat and all the toys, not just a car and some shelves. Off this level is a separate games room/second living area – ideal as a kids’ zone, TV room, hobby space or extra overflow when friends and family arrive. It’s the kind of flexible area that quickly becomes the most-used spot in the house.
Head upstairs and the home opens up into light and warmth. North-facing and immaculately kept, the main level offers a smart, workable kitchen, open living and dining, plus a second sitting nook so everyone can spread out without being on top of each other. The décor is calm and considered, with quality fixtures and fittings that feel fresh rather than fussy.
Step out from the living and the outdoor spaces really sell the lifestyle here. A covered BBQ area and huge retractable awning mean you can use the deck in most weather. The gardens have been lovingly designed and are now well established, wrapping the home in greenery, colour and privacy, and bringing in fantastic birdlife. Two prolific lemon trees sit proudly in the mix – perfect for fresh fish, baking, or, if limoncello is your tipple, your very own house supply.
Morning coffee or evening drinks with birdsong and a rural outlook as your backdrop is very easy to get used to.
Comfort has been well thought through. There’s a freestanding wood burner for winter evenings, plus heat pumps both upstairs and down to keep the temperature right year-round. The master bedroom enjoys its own ensuite with underfloor heating and a spa bath – ideal for soaking tired ski legs or muscles after a day on the lake. Two further bedrooms and the family bathroom look after guests and family with ease.
Set in Omori, you’re close to the lake, mountain and bush walks, with that relaxed holiday feel all around you. The presentation of this property is absolutely a credit to the vendors – you’re not walking into a project, you’re walking into a very easy, very complete package that’s ready to be enjoyed.
