Deliciously Livable, Delightfully Central

You will fall in love with this beautifully completely renovated home where all the hard work is done and you live so centrally you can walk to both local and main shopping centres, and be on the beach or up Mauao in minutes. The solid bones of an original brick house are now plastered and painted. The native timber floors in the hall, fourth bedroom or office, and living have been washed with dark stain. The rear north side of the home is an open plan Lshape with a spacious kitchen taking up the shorter side, dining and living the longer. Enjoy glimpses of Mount Drury and Mauao out the west side windows. Love the way that dual sliding doors open your entire living area to the seriously wide and useful deck that spans its frontage and steps down to just the sort of flat back lawn children need to play on, in just the position parents need to keep an eye on them. Sun circles and soaks this private playground. Titoki trees flank one boundary. There's a shady place beside the play house. A large double garage has been added on the road side, with the approach to the home up pavers and steps along the side. Designer wallpaper in the entrance generates an instant 'wow' factor, repeated in the feature wall of the generous master suite. Other d?cor demonstrates a seaside sensitive palette, walls painted in soft tones which changes hue with the light, both bathrooms fully tiled with glass shower, and a bath for the children. The kitchen is in neutrals with engineered stone benches, lacquered flush cabinetry and a Fisher and Paykel five burner stove for those meals you don?t prepare on the barbeque. The hall that forms the axis for the home also does duty as a photo gallery for family pictures and the kid?s cricket pitch on rainy days! Natural linen drapes soften the main living area with white wooden shutters effective in other parts of the home. An efficient internal laundry sits sensibly beside the family bathroom with a large storage cupboard opposite. The utility side of the home is nicely concealed along the east boundary where the clothes line gets the morning sun and a huge store room accommodates a sporty family's bikes, surfboards and beach gear plus acting as a garden shed, thus leaving the garage free to be just that. Star jasmine and corokia line the side path. This family have appreciated the retreat atmosphere of their property, while loving their proximity to every reason you choose to live at Mount Maunganui - beach, bay, Mauao, shops and cafes, good schooling. Single level living with its excellent relationship with the garden has been so easy for a young family.
