Sundrenched Seascape
Sundrenched Seascape
This beautifully presented beach home proves how slight elevation can enhance exposure to sunshine and access to sea views. The north facing home occupies 541m2 up a gently sloping drive, pleasantly secluded yet open to its outlook. These owners chose it because they could combine a sense of privacy with enjoyment of the wide view shaft across Marine Parade to the sea, which is easily visible from ground level but wonderful from the deck and the living area that opens to it. When you live or holiday at the beach you can always expect lots of guests and this home is configured perfectly to accommodate them. It is effectively two homes in one with separate lower and upper access. There are two ways to the upper level, one via stairs direct to the deck and the other up a ramp to the back door. The wide deck has a great apron extension perfect for the outdoor furniture and plenty of space for the barbeque. The sliders off your L-shaped living area will be pulled back all summer. White painted walls and heaps of natural light keep the interior seamlessly bright and appealing. New sand coloured sisal carpet tones with the latest in lino in the compact but very workable kitchen. The three bedrooms include a large main one, a double and a roomy single. The slightly darker painted block basement surrounds two bedroom accommodation with its own kitchen, bathroom, laundry and a huge living area. It is clean, fresh, light and tidy - very welcoming for your holiday guests or ideal as a rental to bring in that second income while you retain the upper level as your permanent or beach base. You can safely store all your beach gear when you have both a basement garage and a second, stand alone, one. When one of New Zealand's best beaches is a one minute walk away it becomes the focus for your life. Lazy, or active, days at the beach can be followed by long evenings on the deck watching the changing moods of the ocean. You live just far enough from the busiest end of the beach to enjoy the buzz of summer without being right in the middle of it. You are one block from Tay Street, now as popular for its café as for the surf reef. Mount Maunganui's main shopping centre is a short distance one way, Central Parade and the supermarket not far the other. View this property to discover an affordable way to get yourself blissfully beached in a prime position with definite potential.
