The Ultimate Beach Retreat

Te Ngaio Road – one of Mt Maunganui’s most sought-after promenades. This gentle, tree-lined weave of houses has long been prime real estate. Number 36 has another rare quality that sets it apart: size. The 737m² (approx) site is a large full one – of which there are only a handful left on the street. The most recent extension, designed by Mark Cashmore, effectively merges the home with the sand dune it sits on. Yes, it is that close to the beach.

Perfect for permanent living or holidays, this quintessential beach house perfectly captures the relaxed atmosphere that gives the Mount its constant holiday mood. Understated and adaptable, this home comprises three living areas, a double garage, a games room, a large storage room, a master bedroom and two double bedrooms. Additionally, there are two small single bedrooms which could easily be converted into one larger bedroom.

Things we love about this home:
– Lush trees border the property, attracting prolific birdlife.
– Generous decks and a north-facing covered porch take full advantage of the sun’s daily journey from East to West.
– Versatile spaces can be re-configured to meet your changing needs.
– Radiators (central heating) throughout the house and an open fire ensure you are toasty warm in winter.
– The main kitchen features an induction cooktop, a French door ice-making fridge freezer and a hot/cold/sparkling water tap.
– The main bathroom features a large tiled wet area with underfloor heating and a sumptuous French tub.
– Master suite with fan, garden view, an ensuite, a capacious dressing room, access via French doors to a covered outdoor seating area, and an adjoining lounge with kitchenette.

The reserve across the road gives quick access to the surf beach, and it’s just a short stroll to Pilot Bay and the world-class eateries and boutique shopping of Downtown Mount.
