What has often been referred to one of the North Shores best kept secrets, is this incredibly unique home in a top notch location. If you have been looking at Okura homes and dreamt of living here, but cant afford the often hefty price tag of some of the homes that boost views such as these, then putting on your tool belt, picking up the paintbrush and doing the hard yards may allow you to enter the Okura neighbourhood. Crafted on picture perfect land in Vaughans Road, the original owner's desire and skill set to build a home to last and to capture the views took shape. A Builder/Cabinet maker who was fastidious in his trade, bought elements of their German background, to lovingly create his family home at 94 Vaughans Road.
Set on approx. 3087m2 site, with panoramic views from Long Bay through to Rangitoto Island and beyond, is this solid family home. With its quirky design and an abundance of feature timber detailing throughout, a river stone fireplace for the log burner, strategically placed feature windows to capture all aspects of the glorious landscape, exposed pitched timber ceilings, the style of the 70's era, are still heavy influences on the home. Some renovations have been undertaken over the years, including extensive teak timber flooring, upgrades to the bathrooms, however if you love the style there is plenty of original features, still present throughout. This home presents a real opportunity for someone to come and grab this fabulous holding, work their magic and transform this home into something spectacular. The home has plenty of space with good sized bedrooms and has the bonus of a large area currently used as an art studio that could easily have multiple uses if you needed a work from home environment. The pool and spa area are perfectly positioned for family fun and again a great place to soak in the sunrays and that outlook.
Handcrafted stone paths and walls meander through the garden filled with vistas that only an established garden can provide. Multiple Fruit trees have provided plenty of fare to families over the years and still yield fruit in abundance.
Watching the sunrise, and at the other end of the day the moon rising out towards Long Bay beach is absolutely spectacular. Offering expansive rural outlooks, there are numerous spots throughout the home, and the property that take in these spectacular vistas - your own private viewing platform to the wonderful marvels of nature from your own backyard.
Vaughans Road sits right on the Long Bay/Okura boundary and is deemed a great place to live by the locals with many families living in the area for decades.

Incredibly handy to both the Bays and Albany, Beaches, shops, Motorway access and local school buses at the end of the road. A fabulous location that is highly sought after.
