A Mount Maunganui original brought sensitively and stylishly into the twenty first century.

These third owners of the 1956 home, built by a local doctor, have completely renovated and upgraded the dwelling while respecting its original integrity. The stunning, new master suite invites you to wake to a spectacular view of Mauao, while the massive outdoor area to which this master suite and living area open out to, are extensions celebrating the way we live today. A rain sensitive Louvretec roof, a large, open fireplace you can cook on and sliders to ward off coastal winds encourage outdoor entertainment through all seasons. When it's time to move inside the vented gas central heating keeps you cosy and lower winter sun streams across seamless sand toned d?cor; soothing and sophisticated.

Apart from the master suite the interior maintains the footprint of the original. Stainless steel benchtops meld with the engineered stone, central island and scullery of the fresh, streamlined social kitchen. Both bathrooms are tiled with style and have twin hand basins. Two double bedrooms and a sunroom/office/fourth bedroom fan off the extra wide hallway where French doors feature 1950s glazing. The exterior windows are new, double glazed and feature a number of bi-folds designed to fit the character of this stylishly remodeled home.

Send yourselves and the groceries up the lift from the lower foyer beside the deep high stud single garage. Or walk to the upper front door via wide steps from a large parking pad which invites the addition of a double garage or carport. A second driveway offers options for boat or campervan parking and opens up the lower lawn to potential subdivision. A 1,000 litre underground rain water tank feeds the irrigation systems keeping the grass green.

While you live so centrally you can stroll one block to the beach and pop out your back gate through the reserve to the shops your elevated outlook is surprisingly verdant. Mauao rises above the top lawn past the Pohutukawas of Mount Drury. Ocean facing windows take the eye through mature local trees to the vegetation on Rabbit Island.
