Colourful home pulses with creativity, fun and family
Some homes have a knack to tug the heartstrings the moment you step inside. Not because of their newness, chic flair or expensive finish. When an artist sets up home - it's the shameless, eclectic taste borne from imagination that draws that touch of envied desire. There's a cheekiness that defies normality. No matter what gets thrown into the mix - it just works. Like liquorice allsorts.
This Valley Road home oozes dollops of that kind of vibrancy. It has a fantastic ruffled ambience - wind-blown and carefree - loved like a pair of favourite slippers. Not being able to see the place from the road, it's an unsurprising house walking up the drive. It's what smacks you when the front door opens that ignites the sparks. The house opens straight into a family den of rainbow proportions - colour the introduction to this home's bubbly personality and the family which has enjoyed it. Mt Maunganui artist Rachel Denny's artwork is everywhere - some of which might even be bought if you want to relish the home's current flavour.
It's fair to say it needs freshening. It depends how far you want to take things - a basic overhaul with new decor and perhaps a refit in bathrooms and the kitchen, or a major revamp to another level. There's lots of space to play with - inside and out. And that's the second surprise - the pool and huge garden at the back. It's a big pool - perfect for training and the pool house that flanks its entire length is a boon. It's an art studio right now, but with a shower and toilet, there's scope for self-contained accommodation.
The house already has four bedrooms - all generous sizes and good space between them. The master retreat basks in an intimate touch with the pool - its own sun deck spilling outdoors. The ensuite must have been a masterpiece in its day too - the deep-soak bath is a real gem. The way this house connects with the back garden is fantastic. Bi-fold doors open both the dining room and lounge out to a huge deck that wraps around the house to the master bedroom. It's a fantastic place to entertain - room everywhere to spread out and enjoy the privacy of this back-yard oasis.
This is a house that dares to be different - elements like the fireplace making you wonder what Victorian villa it was yanked out of. And the level of built-in cupboards, shelves and display units are a major boon when you're a person with "stuff".
Showcase it, have fun with it, play and work in it - let your imagination loose and peek through the window of opportunity that awaits.
