This is a property that oozes family appeal. Although from the outside it has a sense of cosy, cottage like charm, looks can be deceiving. Sitting on decent sized 620m2 section, the house boasts dual living, three bedrooms plus office and a private, yet decent sized back yard - the perfect space for children to run around and play.

Downstairs you will find the generous sized kitchen which acts as an excellent hub to this family home. It is large and spacious with ample storage and plenty of room to move. Overlooking the dining room and back garden, it means children can be supervised but it also provides excellent flow to these areas when entertaining guests.

The two living areas are joined, giving you the option to have one as formal living, the other a children's play room or informal lounge, as it connects directly to the kitchen and dining area. Another option is to simply leave the doors open and enjoy it as one large open space. Double sliders open off both and onto the decking outside and each room has its own bay window seat, allowing plenty of natural light to flood in both morning and afternoon. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom provide the perfect space for guests - the bathroom is fully tiled with shower, vanity and toilet.

Upstairs proves once again that there is more to this home than meets the eye. The master suite has its own sunny balcony and walk through wardrobe to ensuite/bathroom. Another double room and smaller room are also upstairs - the smaller of the two could be used as a baby's room or office.

Just step outside and you will soon see that the bonuses just keep on coming. The large yard is fully fenced and traps the all day sun; the terraced gardens are structured, the cobbled entertainment area is an excellent space for summer barbecues. Pohutukawas and succulents are dotted around the section, giving that beach style feeling yet are easy care. Double garaging with internal access provides additional storage space or a place to store the boat and water sport toys. This 220m2 home, so close to the beach, Bayfair and Baywave, is perfect for a growing family. Come and enjoy all the bonuses of living in this area of Mount Maunganui.
