Clever design is teamed with such enviable location in this surprisingly spacious apartment.

As one of six in the complex, it has all the benefits of apartment living while maintaining the connection to its surrounds. Slightly removed from the hustle and bustle that accumulates with proximity to Mauao, you will still enjoy the perks of being just a short stroll to boutique shopping and delectable dining.

If you enjoy entertaining then you'll love it even more so if you get the chance to do it here. Bountiful bench space, new appliances and gas hob will allow the family chef to shine. Guests will enjoy watching the show from the comfort of the sit up breakfast bar and if they're not doing that, they'll be enthralled in comings and goings on the street outside. Marine Parade is a hub for walkers, cyclists and of course, surfers hitting the waves directly across the road. It is people watching at its very best.

Open plan living and dining are both spacious and offer a bevy of options when it comes to relaxing. Large sliders flank the entirety of this area, forming an L shape around the living room. When opened, the indoor and outdoor spaces almost become one. Laze on the sofa and listen to the sounds of the sea, or step seamlessly out to an alfresco patio area - a simply stunning spot to catch the majority of the day's sun. Whether you dine alfresco at lunchtime with a cold beer, or admire the sunrise over your morning cuppa, this is the place to do it.

That's if you even feel the need to leave the luxury of the master suite, because you can watch the sun come up from the comfort of your own bed. It doesn't end there either. Through the walk through wardrobe is your very own colossal sized ensuite, complete with bathtub.

Another bedroom and bathroom exist at the end of the wide hallway, providing privacy for guests, as does an office. This work from home option also doubles as an additional room, with the added bonus of a pull down double bed, cleverly concealed behind closet doors.

Garaging and storage are available below ground level, adding complete convenience to the package.

Spacious, secure and almost sitting in the sand dunes, you've got the option to lock up and leave or move in and enjoy all the fruits on offer in such a desirable destination.
