7 Orion Street, Collingwood

Don't delay to view this delightful property tucked up a private cul-de-sac with a charming garden and lovely views. Our vendor is moving on to her next home and keen to sell quickly. Lovingly tended, the garden is a colourful treat for the senses, filled with tui and other birdlife. Raised vegetable beds, fruit trees and flowers all meld beautifully with the surrounding bush to create a private 2,625 sqm retreat that keen gardeners will love. Built in 2001, the home is welcoming, light and comfortable with two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom with shower and separate bath, a separate laundry and toilet. The living area is open plan with timber trim adding warmth and character throughout the house. The wood burner makes for a cosy central hub and the wetback ensures power bills are kept to a minimum. The kitchen is one of the first spots to glean the morning sun, with a pleasant garden outlook, tiled floor and plenty of storage space. Possibly one of the most appealing features of the property, is the generous deck areas to the north of the house, accessed from the lounge, the verandah or front lawn. Outdoor dining and entertaining family and friends would be a treat with this suntrap, enlarging the living space of the home, sheltered from the easterly winds and above all, making the most of the gorgeous views across the Ruataniwha Inlet and dramatic mountain ranges beyond. A generous single garage and good off-street parking complete the picture, with tank water as well as town supply for back up or irrigation. A stroll down the road, Collingwood is a tranquil little seaside village with old-world charm and plenty to do if you love nature. Offering all the amenities of village life, this is a wonderful spot for active retirees or small families in a friendly neighbourhood. Stunning food and coffee are on offer in the local cafes. Shops, a Playcentre, Collingwood Area School and the beach are all an easy walk away. Deadline Sale (unless sold prior). ...
