\nNestled on a freehold site amongst landscaped tropical gardens this peaceful sanctuary is in surprising contrast to its vibrant downtown location. The private gated driveway leads you to a crisp white exterior with wooden accents. Worthy of a five-star tropical resort, the gardens embrace the house, ascending charmingly to a private spa area, also accessible from the deck. \n\nOn the ground floor you will find a separate living/media room. Full-width stacking doors offer an alternative exit/entry for guests and an abundance of natural light. Also on the ground level is a large double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and French doors leading to the garden outside. A beautifully furnished modern bathroom is conveniently set between the bedroom and the living/media room. \n\nTake the stairs to the second floor where space and light dominate in the modern open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Large windows are the perfect backdrop for the space founded on gleaming original timber floorboards. A roomy deck straight off the kitchen extends your living and entertaining space, capturing the best of the northern sun and a view of Mauao. Quality exterior louvres cleverly retain your privacy and double glazing throughout the home assists its tranquil interior. A second double bedroom, a master bedroom and a beautifully appointed bathroom also reside on this level. \n\nLiving here you'll have it all. Relax in your oasis of calm yet still enjoy the abundance of first-rate cafes, bars, restaurants and designer retail options on your doorstep, yet only a short walk to Pilot Bay and the surf beach, voted N.Z's best for the third year running. \n\nIt's just too good to miss - call Sandra or Matt today.\n\n\nFind us on Facebook \n\nCheck out our website\n\nSubscribe to our property blog\n
