St Leonards 61 Mainsail Drive

Great family friendly design? Tick!

Spread over two levels, every element of this home has been very carefully thought out with the owners placing all of their emphasis on a floor plan that is not only family friendly but also takes the use of space, storage, practical functionality, east/west orientation and relaxed living into clever consideration.

Downstairs, children have free reign with two equally sized and appealing bedrooms boasting BIR's and direct access to the decked boardwalk with outdoor shower, modern family bathroom and a rumpus area leading directly to the secure rear garden. Not necessarily for the kids, but perfectly positioned all the same, the handy European laundry is concealed behind a series of sliding doors and illustrates how well the space within this home has been utilised for maximum benefit.

Upstairs, the large open living area incorporates a modern galley kitchen with an abundance of practical pot drawers surrounding the 800mm Ilve cooker. Stone tops on the island, storage reminiscent of a traditional beach house and a pull out pantry all lend a sense of classic style that is also reflected in the white painted timber lined ceiling, box seating in the dining area and gas pebble fire of the lounge. The master suite further picks up on this with a porthole window above the bed and in-room freestanding tub complimenting the more private ensuite.

Contemporary Architecture? Tick!

Being the owners original design, they were also able to incorporate and blend the traditional elements with more modern coastal themes such as the timber and colourbond cladding, Stegbar cedar windows and structural gardens. With an almost seven star rating, the energy efficiency of the home is superb with little need for heating during the cooler months and the cross flow of sea breezes through strategically placed louvers providing comfort in summer.

Eco Considerations? Tick!

The water tank is plumbed in to feed the WC's in the home, a drying rack in the laundry eliminates the need for an electric version, double glazing helps with climate control while natural gas heating and ceiling fans take care of the extremes. If you really need the alternatives though, the house is already wired and vented for a dryer and RC/AC units.

Views? BIG TICK!

Even from the well-placed windows in the lower level of the home you are offered glimpses of the bay but from upstairs, the alfresco balcony, living room and even the window seat in the master all provide a stunning outlook over the water.

Whatever boxes you have on your list, this home is likely to tick them. Low maintenance, close to beaches, coastal lifestyle, easy access, near new, well-presented, affordable...they are all checked off with this property plus a number of additional boxes that may not have even crossed your mind!
