Nestled amongst sub-tropical gardens in a quiet street with a short stroll to Mount Maunganui's stunning beach finds a private oasis, the black house, in an enclave of townhouses. Beautifully renovated inside and out with just enough garden to keep your hand in, but more time for the lifestyle living by the beach.

Step through the Indian wrought iron gates and into a covered entrance and be wowed by the fresh white interior with white wooden shutters, soft curtains, timber floors and wool carpets, you will fall in love as I did upon viewing it for the first time. Enjoy cooking for your guests in the new sleek kitchen with stone benchtops and new Bosch appliances.

The open plan living opens through bi-folds doors to your private tropical courtyard with a generous covered pergola, the perfect spot for entertaining, listening to the calming sound of water features, or while away a few hours with a good book from your walled library in the living room.

A double bedroom and tiled bathroom on the ground floor is perfect for guests. The top floor is light and bright with a generous master bedroom with gorgeous window seat, a third guest bedroom, and tiled bathroom which is shared.

The carpeted double garage houses the laundry with laminate benchtop and splash back, under bench front loader appliances. There is a raised veggie garden or if it is a holiday home maybe just plant your fresh herbs. Just move in and enjoy your new private oasis by the beach.
