This home borders the edge of Timaru’s CBD, but there’s nothing borderline about what’s on offer in the executive retirement haven with views of Caroline Bay. It’s simply lovely. The allure starts with the exterior. Cladding is a classic mix of narrow vertical cedar in a natural hue and vertical heritage-tray metal in an iron-sand shade. The monopitch roof matches the latter. Landscaping is easy care: stack-bond concreteblock retaining walls and low-maintenance beds – perfect for the retired owners. So far so good. As you move inside the 209sqm home, you’ll find a generous entrance, two bedrooms and a bathroom as well as an internal-access double garage that includes the laundry.
To check out the upstairs you can either walk up three sets of stairs or take the lift – something that ensures the home is future-proofed for its owners. Up here, you’re struck by a feeling of space and luxury in the open-plan zone. Decor ranges from the almost-black to paler neutrals – it’s a showcase of earthy tones. In the kitchen, for instance, the dark cabinetry, island and splashback are accented with bronze-look tapware and pendants. Step through open sliders to the generous deck that enjoys outlooks to the bay. Morning coffee or an evening tipple with views? Upstairs also has a generous main bedroom with walk-in robe, ensuite and high-end fittings.
