Positioned in one of Lake Ōkāreka's most beautiful settings, 41 offers a truly special opportunity to enjoy lakeside living in a home filled with architectural character, warmth and breathtaking views. Designed to embrace its spectacular surroundings, this unique multi-level home offers an incredible connection to the lake, with expansive windows, beautiful outdoor spaces and a layout that makes the most of its elevated position.
From its striking design with exposed timber beams and high ceilings to the expansive windows framing the lake from different angles, this is a home that feels completely connected to its surroundings. Double glazing throughout almost all of the home adds to the comfort, while allowing its beautiful outlook to remain a defining feature.
Entry from the road brings you into the upper level before the home begins to unfold down through a series of thoughtfully designed spaces. The next level is home to the master bedroom, where doors open directly onto a private deck with an elevated outlook across the lake. A dual access bathroom connects the master with a second bedroom, creating a practical and flexible arrangement.
At the heart of the home is an impressive open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Huge windows draw in natural light and capture beautiful views across Lake Ōkāreka. A central fireplace creates a striking focal point, complemented by a pellet fire for additional heating.
Just behind the fireplace, a small drop down level reveals a cosy and versatile nook. While perfect as a quiet reading retreat, it could just as easily become a children's play area, games space or relaxed hangout away from the main living area. Fondly remembered as a favourite play space for the owners' grandchildren, it's ready for a new family to make memories of their own.
Continuing down through the home, there are two further bedrooms, one with direct access to the deck. With bedrooms and living spaces positioned across the different levels, the design creates separation and privacy while maintaining a wonderful sense of connection throughout the home.
Newer decking wraps around the lakeside of the property, providing multiple places at different levels to step outside and appreciate the setting. Lake facing rooms open directly onto the deck, allowing the views to become part of everyday life, whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, entertaining with friends or simply taking in the changing outlook across the water.
On the lowest level, there is an internal access single garage with additional workshop space, along with a separate room offering excellent potential for storage, hobbies or other practical uses.
This is a home that has been genuinely cherished by its owners. Over the years it has been beautifully maintained, with care and attention to detail evident throughout. Rather than simply preserving its character, the work undertaken has ensured the home remains comfortable, functional and ready to continue its story for years to come.
It is clear this has been much more than just a house to its current owners. From family gatherings to quiet moments overlooking the lake, this property has provided the setting for countless special memories. Now, a new chapter awaits, offering the next owners the opportunity to embrace everything that makes Lake Ōkāreka such a wonderful place to call home.
