5 Kennedy Point Road, Kennedy Point, Waiheke Island

Waterfront home designed for Island living

The sale of 5 Kennedy Point Road presents a rare opportunity to own a north-west facing waterfront home, located in one of Waiheke Island's most desirable coastal settings.

Thoughtfully designed and built in 2000, four generations have enjoyed this spectacular property. The house spans approximately 224 sqm over two levels. Sunrise catches the master bedroom windows and entrance followed by the home strategically holding the sun all day, with evenings rewarded by sunsets over the front deck.

Vaulted ceilings, warm cedar joinery, and high light windows allow great natural light and maximise ocean and sky views.
Cedar bifold doors open from the generous living area onto a deck overlooking the water, creating seamless flow for entertaining or enjoying the outlook. Come winter, the open fireplace becomes the heart of the home. The open plan kitchen is well appointed with abundant storage and bench space, and bifold windows open to an outdoor bar-style bench - perfect for casual dining while taking in the views. The master suite enjoys a sunny aspect over Kennedy point vineyard, a large wardrobe, and a spacious ensuite with a shower and bath. The studio is perhaps the home's most distinctive space - for years the dedicated workspace of an accomplished artist, it has a soul and warmth all of its own. Complete with a mezzanine, kitchenette and bathroom, it works equally well as guest accommodation, or creative workspace.

Downstairs, two double bedrooms open onto a paved courtyard framed by palms. A private staircase leads through the palms and mature fruit trees down to the water's edge - in true waterfront fashion, swimming and fishing are quite literally at the bottom of the garden.
A handsome double garage with internal access, along with a flat parking bay by the front door, provides ample parking and space for a boat, trailer, or guests.

Kennedy Point car ferry is moments away, as is the marina - whether you anchor at the bottom of the garden or walk 400 metres from the wharf, few addresses on the island can offer as much. The local school and island amenities are also within easy walking distance, making 5 Kennedy Point Road one of Waiheke's most practical as well as picturesque addresses.
