133a Marine Parade, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty, 3116, New Zealand
Elevated and sunny in its prime golden mile Marine Parade position, this totally renovated beachside home is a stylish summer star. It’s the next step for downsizing mid-life retirees, a glamorous beach-house retreat for busy big-city escapees or a very comfortable family home for those who love the caf and beach vibe in this coveted neighbourhood.
The recently completed refurbishment inside and out displays a sophisticated monochromatic palette with highly spec’d fittings throughout. The cool Resene Black White interior contrasts with the designer chic of pewter-toned door hardware and luxe grey carpeting. Ground floor living and accommodation with ensuite and hidden laundry has been designed to optionally close off from the rest of the household to give visiting relatives, Air BNB guests, or independent teenagers, their privacy and outdoor access to the north-facing terrazza. Sit with a cool drink and watch the world go by, savouring your vibrant cosmopolitan lifestyle. The upper living areas are generous open-plan spaces, with wide ocean as well as Moturiki and Motuotau island views. The customised kitchen will be a foodie’s favourite: gas cooking, SMEG and LG appliances, Mediterranean-inspired decor and interplay with the crew on the balcony. Both upstairs double bedrooms including master have ocean glimpses from a pillowed position and a large brand-new bathroom is a romantic arrangement featuring a tub for two.
A repainted roof, new masonry-rendered block and brick cladding, Infinity gas hot water, outdoor shower, double glazed joinery, built-in Fujitsu air-conditioning, carpeted double garage – total priority has clearly been given to aesthetics and future-proofed function. Carport room to park the boat and jet skis, all less than a 60-second walk to celebrated Cutters Cove crossing for a safer stroll to the beach. Life here swings easily from the cosmopolitan urbanity of local Mount cafs and boutiques to a beachy anything-goes mood.
