About this property

Capturing some of the most breathtaking panoramic views Akaroa has to offer, this home is an exceptional combination of sunshine, space, versatility and effortless holiday living. Bathed in all-day sun, the spectacular 270 degree outlook stretches across Akaroa Harbour and the surrounding hills, providing an ever-changing backdrop of natural beauty that is simply unforgettable. Beautifully presented inside and out, this impressive property has been thoughtfully modernised over time to create a welcoming retreat that is ready to be enjoyed from day one while still offering the opportunity for a new owner to easily stamp their own mark upon it. The real standout is the incredibly versatile configuration. Spread across two separate, self-contained levels, each enjoys its own private entrance, two generous bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and expansive wraparound decking from which to soak up the magnificent harbour panorama. This exceptional arrangement provides outstanding separation and independence, making it ideal for large or multiple families holidaying together, with everyone enjoying their own space and privacy. Equally appealing is the potential for buyers seeking an additional income stream. The independent accommodation offers excellent flexibility to explore the security of a permanent tenant or the potential returns of night-by-night holiday accommodation, while retaining one level for personal use. The possibilities are extensive and can be tailored to suit individual lifestyles and investment objectives. Outside, beautifully established gardens, attractive terraced lawns and thoughtfully landscaped grounds enhance the peaceful setting. Generous outdoor living spaces provide wonderful places to entertain friends or simply relax in the sunshine while admiring the spectacular views. Accessibility and practicality are equally impressive. Two separate driveway entrances provide excellent drive-on access, while flat walk-on entry into the home makes coming and going effortless. Double garaging is complemented by extensive off-street parking for up to seven vehicles, offering exceptional space for boats, caravans, visiting guests and all the extras that come with enjoying the Banks Peninsula lifestyle. A bonus is a large downstairs workshop space plus a "hidden room" that could be converted into a very nice wine cellar! Whether you're seeking the ultimate family holiday retreat, a spacious permanent residence with independent guest accommodation or a smart investment with multiple income possibilities, 51 Watson Street delivers an exceptionally complete package in one of Akaroa's most spectacular settings.
