A rare opportunity awaits in Whakatāne’s exclusive Hillcrest area with this executive property in Crestwood Rise reduced significantly to facilitate a quick sale.

The owners are motivated to sell – have bought elsewhere – so have reduced the price to $865,000, less than what they paid for it and 33 percent below its rateable value.

It’s a bargain price for a quality, light-filled home that was built in 1998, designed by architect Ian Thorn, and offers exceptional privacy and stunning views of Moutohorā Island, Whakaari, and the Kohi Point hills.

The ground floor includes a generous double garage and a separate laundry that leads to garden bordered by bush.

On the first floor, the beautifully crafted rimu kitchen flows through to an open plan dining, lounge and family area with a striking fireplace. The living spaces open to a large deck that is perfect for entertaining and from which the views – and the sunsets – are breathtaking.

The upper floor houses the bedrooms, including a master suite with a Romeo-Juliet deck that also offers panoramic views. All bedrooms are a good size and filled with natural light.

Set on a 1,067m2 beautifully landscaped site, this home offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquillity.

You’re right in town but there’s a sense of being in another world, far from the bustle of suburbia.

Check it out at Sunday’s open home or organise a private viewing, but be quick because the first offer may take it away.
