When it comes to living, there is no more sought after destination in Mount Maunganui than Marine Parade. This great apartment gives you the option to invest, lock up and leave or enjoy the fruits on offer all to yourself.

Central living is made easy and the kitchen flows flawlessly to dining and onto living room before spilling onto the sun-drenched patio. Accessed by an impressively large sliding door, this space has louvered walls on either side providing the option to shelter on windier days or open up, allowing the morning sunrise to stream in.

The high wall in front creates privacy from any foot traffic on the pavement below, but is low enough not to obstruct the view over to the sand dunes just across the road.

Having the beach so handy will see you spending days on end in and on the water, with the convenience to wander home for lunch, refreshments and even to retire with friends on the patio at the end of each day. This is a great spot for people watching while devouring sundowners and treats from the barbecue.

Down the hall are three generously light filled rooms, one with its own fully tiled ensuite. Wardrobes in each and storage along the hall cater for all your storage needs, as does a facility in the garage for all your sporting and hobby equipment.

On the weekend, you've got the option to meander down to Tay Street cafe for brunch, lunch or dinner or head in the opposite direction to the vibrant and bohemian village that is Mount Maunganui.

As one of five in this complex, you'll enjoy the security on offer; keypad gate in front, secure garaging and private internal access from parking.

Currently tenanted, the option exists to leave it as is or perhaps you're looking for a perfect summer bolt-hole? Either way, this enviable modern apartment can easily cater to your property desires.
