An elegant character Golden Gate Paremata
An elegant character home in a bliss-fully landscaped setting along the shoreline of the Pauatahanui Inlet is for sale in blue-chip Paremata.
The discreetly modernised fourbedroom house, at 89 Paremata
Rd, was built in the 1960s on a secluded 810-square metre corner section with flat lawn, native trees and an easy-care garden that steps out to the beach.
“The advantage of this absolute waterfront location is it’s not open sea,” Jason Clark, of Clark & Co Realty, says.
“So there are no ocean swells to worry about and because it’s so sheltered, you can enjoy a garden as beautiful as this.”
There’s also plenty of space for a trampoline, spa pool and off-street parking to complement the internal garaging.
The layout of the 295sqm home suits both family living and working from home, with three doublebedrooms and a large office that could be a fifth bedroom on the ground floor.
There’s also a spacious rumpus room that opens to an al fresco courtyard as well as a smartly renovated laundry, a wine cellar and a bathroom with shower cabinet, vanity, toilet and underfloor heating.
The hub of the home is upstairs, where the family/dining space and formal lounge open to a terracotta tile deck with glass balustrading and inlet views that stretch from Gray’s Farm to Motukaraka Point and to Pauahatanui Village.
The family/dining area has stained floorboards and is open-plan with a recently remodelled kitchen with an oversized underbench oven, fiveburner gas cooktop, integrated rangehood, dishwasher and quaddoor refrigerator freezer.
It also has a large skylight, breakfast bar island, wine fridge and extensive storage, including a cupboard with a wrought-iron sliding glass door.
The formal lounge features a brick fireplace with a character mantlepiece and a wall unit with shelving and space to mount a large TV.
The main bedroom suite opens to the deck and has a dressing room and an ensuite with both a bath and a shower; there’s also a powder room on this level.
