Make every day a beach day in this outstanding 1,201sqm (more or less) property fronting the dunes and surf at the northern end of Papamoa Beach. For many years a much-loved beach house and now a permanent home that's mellowed with the rhythm of time and tides, the astonishing Pacific Ocean panorama to be enjoyed from virtually every room in the house will take your breath away. When the sky is blue and the clouds are absent - in other words, a typical Bay of Plenty day - the Coromandel Peninsula is easily seen, as is the Maketu coast to the east and across the tussock to Mauao - Mount Maunganui.
First time on the market close on 50 years, this rambling seashore hideaway on an elevated site with wide beach frontage presents a range of possibilities. The current house wraps around an in-ground swimming pool and from the easy, relaxing, casual entertaining spaces, a range of decks, a huge balcony for checking out the waves and terraces - sheltered and private for barbecues, sharing good times and soaking up the sun. Plenty of space to play with inside a 260sqm (more or less) floor plan, there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, three garages and plenty of parking for a boat. The retro decor is the classic "70s show" in places but to live in and make the changes would be an exciting restoration that creative visionaries will jump at.
Located in a prime neighbourhood close to the Coast Boulevard junction for Good Home gastro pub, Fresh Choice supermarket and Pearl Kitchen cafe, in school zones of Tahatai School and Papamoa College and an easy drive to Papamoa Plaza or Bayfair Shopping Centre, this once in a lifetime beachfront opportunity is too good to miss.
