AUCTION BROUGHT FORWARD

Minutes from the surf as well as Mount Golf Club turf, this gorgeous mid-century weatherboard home sits on a tranquil and private 521 sqm (approx.) rear sited section. Rocking some old school character from its groovy heyday, solid timber flooring colludes with original joinery to create a timeless ambiance with modernizations in all the requisite rooms. Situated in coveted Omanu School zone, the three bedroom home comes with the bonus of two snug ancillary rooms on the ground floor where the kids can hang with their mates and the whole crew can indulge a hobby or three.

All living and accommodation is configured to one level with a front porch leading into the sunny living room. This connects through double doors to a spacious dining area flanking the contemporary kitchen. Here, a beach-inspired aqua glass back splash complements modern stainless-steel appliances. At one end a separate washhouse has an adjoining separate toilet while the main family bathroom has a bathtub and separate shower. Three double bedrooms are comfortably carpeted with the master having a compact ensuite and doors to the patio. There's two garages, one sub-floor with ample built-in workshop storage and another alongside the home with space to house garden tools. The gardens are a lush combination of tropical and coastal plantings with grape vine draping the fence and lawns for the dog to safely scoot about. There are ample nooks to chuck down the beanbags and still crank up the Weber for a barbecue meal while the weather stays warm.

Well placed to access the Mount trifecta of beach, golf course and Bayfair's retail mecca, this multifaceted beach retreat is close also to main arterial routes for a commute to the Mount, Papamoa or the city centre and has a whole load of superb cafes mighty handy for your caffeine fix.
