This is rare, gold plated real estate overlooking the golden sands of Mount Maunganui's Main Beach.

You'll get that instant holiday feeling in this superbly situated townhouse, so perfect for modern day to day living or beach breaks. It's hard to overstate the ambiance of this home and this location; stand on the balcony on a sunny day and it's easy to see the advantages of living at the centre of the golden mile. The silver lining is that this 'Mount original' three-unit complex is soon to be future proofed. The lucky purchaser will take over an owner's agreement to upgrade the entire exterior from deco to clean lines with aerated concrete and new joinery.

Meanwhile, sink happily into this modern interior in superior seaside simplicity. Mid-level living stretches from the ocean facing balcony, through easy tiled open plan space to spacious decked outdoor living backed by a natural hot salt water inground spa. Nautical themed stairs (or lift) take you to three bedrooms (two with balconies) and two bathrooms on the upper level. The basement is one very big tandem garage and workshop, or 'toy' storage area; enjoy the benefit of extra parking outside.

Live life to the full here: stroll to beach cafes, walk 'the Mount', watch beach volley ball, pop over the street for a swim, enjoy the thriving retail centre just along the road, be part of New Year's Eve celebrations without leaving home and every day revel in the buzz and activity around you. Or?retreat to your own private garden papadise, for peaceful relaxation and a soak in the spa you've just filled with hot sea water from the shared bore.

A unique residence for an exceptional beach life in arguably New Zealand's most sought after beachside location. Dive in now for a beachside home that will be hard to beat, even harder to replicate.
