1353 Whangaparaoa Road, Army Bay

Sparkling harbour views, a peaceful tropical garden paradise full of native birdsong and golf on the fairway just over the fence. Reward yourself with a wonderfully relaxing lifestyle in this huge (approx. 309 sq m) six bedroom escape. Secure behind automatic gates, this two level brick home was solidly built in the 1980s and has been tastefully updated for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining. Enormous light-filled open living extends wide to a north-facing deck sheltered by Archgola screens where you can enjoy the views dining alfresco. Or relax at the composite stone island bench in the big modern kitchen where a scullery/laundry adds more storage. There are five generous double bedrooms (master bedroom with en-suite) upstairs, with more living on the lower level. At the entry, a lock-up door creates a self-contained retreat, a great opportunity to give guests, teens or extended family their own space with one large double and one single bedroom, lounge, kitchenette, bathroom and separate entry. To complete the sixth bedroom, a wall will need to be reinstated. Ideal as a home office, a third living space has access to the garage plus masses of secure parking and room for the boat. Truly the lifestyle dream with great beaches a stroll away and handy to Gulf Harbour School, shops and restaurants, the marina, two golf clubs, Shakespeare Park and the ferry to town. Owners have already moved north, don't miss out on a slice of coastal paradise....
