Other features: This house was originally designed to the owner s specifications. It has an entrance hall; extra-high ceilings in all bedrooms; 4 of the 5 bedrooms have fanlights; high raked ceiling with exposed beams on upper level; Tasmanian oak floors on upper level and in three bedrooms and corridor on middle level; the spacious living areas have plenty of windows and sliding glass doors to take in the many moods of the expansive views. The roof pitch in relation to the front patio has been designed to provide that extra protection from the western sun and thus making for a great private spot to just relax at end of day while taking in the magnificent winter sunsets over the distant mountain ranges, picturesque Auckland Creek and surrounding Marina parkland. All windows are insect screened, with security screens/ doors in strategic locations. The large back yard is fully fenced and gated. The house is positioned to take advantage of the prevailing breezes (an important factor in summer!).
The house was built to Category 1 cyclone standards, including double returns on sliding glass windows. There are storm doors that protect the French doors that open from the kitchen to the back deck.
