49 Hartley Street

First time offered to the market this strategically positioned home is ready for its new owners to enjoy living in the ever changing vista of the Manawatu river. Relax and enjoy watching the boaties and activity at the boat ramp or stroll across the road for a meal and a drink at the Manawatu Marine boat club. Morning walks along the estuary or a spot of whitebaiting only a stone's throw away from this property. Would have to be the easiest and quickest boat launch at the beach. This timeless quality build was designed by Phil Stanfield and built by local well known and respected Thomas builders in 2005 with locally milled weather board, Wairau Stone and Gerard tile roof gives reassurance of quality and craftsmanship throughout. Step inside and take the lift to the first floor and be instantly drawn to the panoramic views of the river, estuary and Tararua ranges as you step out into the light filled open plan living area. Pacific Matai hardwood floors and neutral earthy tones give a sense of home and instantly calming while you enjoy the best beach life by the riverside. The heart of the home has to be the kitchen with its open plan to a large dining area to entertain your guests while admiring the views or simply having your breakfast. The home has been built with wheelchair friendly in mind including the large lift, cavity sliding doors and wet floor bathroom down stairs. Work from home with the office downstairs or currently a 4th bedroom. Downstairs has also been designed to be self contained if required by the addition of a kitchenette in the main living area as plumbing has been thoughtfully added. The garaging will appeal to many with a large double garage workshop and the freestanding boat, camper shed 8.6m length by 6.8m width and 3.6m door height. Drive straight in and plenty of backing room on the expansive hotmix driveway. There are many more features and I would love to take you on a private tour of this magnificent coastal property.
