SOLD at auction 1 September 2021
This is a sentimental sale and it's easy to see why. What a location! Sometimes the perfect coastal position is contrasted by a home requiring elbow grease. Buyers agree - this is a rare opportunity in central Paihia.
Sitting across from Te Haumi Beach on an easy-care section makes this an enviable address, highly worthy of a reno or future re-development (builders & LIM reports available). Just a short walk to bars, shops and restaurants - you couldn't ask for a better location for your best-ever beach house or permanent abode.
But for now, pour a coffee and imagine sitting on those decks. The main residence has four-bedrooms with a large laundry that could be converted to another bathroom or bedroom. The downstairs living area is light and sunny with a window seat, plus a private deck at the rear which is an afternoon sun trap.
Upstairs, the master bedroom with ensuite includes a sitting room and captures idyllic sea views. There is also a deck for enjoying the sun rising out of the water, or watching the boats return to Opua Marina in the evenings. What a sweet retreat!
The granny flat at the rear of the property represents potential rental income or Airbnb opportunities. It consists of one-bedroom, a bathroom, kitchenette, and open plan living. Above the flat is a large mezzanine (with its own entrance) making it an ideal office, rumpus or generous storage. Completing the picture of a big inviting house for extended family and friends, is a double garage.
No wonder this will be an emotional goodbye - this is a legacy property. The stuff of kiwiana dreams, where children ditch devices because the beach beckons, along with coastal strolls and nearby mountain biking at Waitangi. Even the coffee van is just steps away for a daily caffeine hit.
Just over 3 hours from central Auckland, act quick & you could be in for Labour Weekend!
