Location / Ruby Bay

This house is sound structurally but in need of a “21st century upgrade”. Located on the Ruby Bay Bluffs it has great views of Tasman Bay back to Nelson.  The clients wanted to modernise it with indoor/outdoor living.  This has been achieved by installing wide bi-folding doors from the Dining and Lounge giving access to an enlarged deck that has a pergola over it.  Wide steps give access to the pool at the lower level.

The Master Bedroom was given an Ensuite by opening it up directly to the bathroom.  Fittings were repositioned with a walk in wardrobe provided between. The main entry steps were retained and retiled but a feature entry was added giving the house the impact it needed. The typical poky Kitchen of the era was enlarged, modernised and opened up with Bifold windows to open out onto the deck – adding to the indoor/outdoor entertainment.
