A distinctive sanctuary awaits the new owners of this beautifully maintained, light-filled home with lovely views out across this sought-after Bucklands Beach neighbourhood to the marina.

This freehold townhouse has provided the owners with a soothing haven to unwind, away from the hustle and bustle of their CBD business lives. A short walk to the ferry, beach and local cafes, this home offers you the keys to that work-life balance you yearn for. Leave your cars in the double garage and take the ferry to work each day - or Waiheke at the weekend.

Relax on two balconies, one off the master suite from which you can watch the Half Moon Bay ferries idle by as you sip your evening wine. The balconies are just a teaser for this surprisingly spacious home, featuring a private sun-drenched rear entertaining deck accessed through bi-fold doors from the European-style kitchen and flowing living areas. You'll appreciate the ridiculously low maintenance gardens.

This distinctive, yet independent home with its apartment vibe, has all the lifestyle benefits of easy beach living in Macleans College zone.

Having bought in Nelson, the current owners move soon. Take advantage of a price that is nearly $200,000 below CV - before another astute buyer beats you to it!
