The private, sweeping driveway through mature, landscaped gardens only hints at what lies beyond. Opening out to the beautiful, architecturally designed home in its manicured setting and those magnificent panoramic sea views. Each visit to this home will uncover more and more clever design features, with the quality of the build evident throughout.

The generous, central kitchen is the hub of the living space, including the expansive lounge area with its beautiful, sarked ceiling and exposed rafters - all overlooking the landscaped gardens to the horizon beyond.

The lounge also opens to a lovely courtyard behind the house with areas thoughtfully designed to not only maximise sun, but also to provide shelter or channel those cooling afternoon sea breezes - a perfect sanctuary to enjoy year-round. The living areas, bedrooms and decks all overlook gardens and bush walks, including a very special area with a most gorgeous setting - the centrepiece for community garden walks and in high demand for wedding gatherings and photographs.

Visited by many and admired by many more, 45 Winifred Street has far too many surprises to describe. It is on the market for the first time, so simply must be viewed. Book enough time to explore, because it truly is one of Gisborne's treasures.
