Hamptons Beach House

The distinctive style and elegantly comfortable coastal decor of the Hamptons beach house has been successfully transplanted to Mount Maunganui beach in the creation of this four or five bedroom home which maximises every advantage of its site and outlook. \n\nIn a complete renovation and rebuild which leaves no suggestion of the bach that occupied this 488m2 block walled corner section a weatherboard two storey home exudes a sense of calm and a wonderful family living environment with everything you need for an easy life at the beach. Living runs along the front of the upper level where peaked ceilings infuse the area with a lightness of being and good design delivers living anchored by a huge engineered stone kitchen island surrounded by bench and storage space, where the dining area juts forward to give a little more space inside, and the lounge steps back to ensure a large outdoor table will fit on the deck, just where you get a view shaft through double drives opposite and out to the ocean. Double doors divide off a moody sitting room with a stone fireplace for cool evenings, but bathed in afternoon sun. The master suite is tucked behind the living areas off a landing, its fully tiled bathroom featuring a double head shower with mosaic floor, contrasting with the wet sand hues of the tiles and white cabinetry. \n\nThree family bedrooms, family bathroom echoing the style of the one above, and a rumpus room with sliders to the patio all occupy the ground floor. Double garaging extends to ensure space for a laundry and beach paraphernalia, with enough room for a small boat. \n\nDecor is Hamptons style using a palette of sandy creams and driftwood browns, offset with white; tiles and carpet on the lower floor, the upper living and stairs grounded by dark stained Tawa floorboards. Drapes are linen and blinds light washed timber. \n\nThe grounds have been landscaped for ease, with plenty of aggregate parking inside the automatic gate and outside the garage, camellia and other hedging lining the walls inside and out and just enough lawn to feel the grass beneath your bare feet. \n\nBeach access is just across the road, the local caf? just along the street and all the educational, recreational, retail and restaurant amenities of this beach resort within easy reach. \n
