This is the kind of Mount address that quietly raises the bar. Extensively renovated to a very high standard and positioned on one of the Mount’s most loved streets, 16 Sutherland Avenue is one of those homes that just feel good the moment you arrive – light, bright, relaxed, and effortlessly coastal.
Upstairs, a delightful feature wall adds personality and warmth as it leads you into the social heart of the home. Light pours into the open-plan living, dining and kitchen, where white sarked ceilings and crisp finishes create a calm, coastal backdrop. The kitchen sits slightly elevated to overlook the living zones and out to the coast beyond. From here, wide doors open to the front balcony where the outlook runs straight down Sutherland Avenue to the sparkling Pacific, where Motiti Island and ships at anchor sit quietly on the horizon.
The master suite sits quietly alongside with its own walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and access to a second balcony - a peaceful perch for a morning coffee or a quiet moment at the end of the day.
Downstairs, the second living room is generous and relaxed, the perfect zone for kids, movie nights or simply spreading out. Ranch sliders and stack-back doors open wide so the living room spills effortlessly outdoors, allowing the breeze to move through and making the entire space feel like one continuous summer hangout. Two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom on this level offer fantastic separation for guests, teenagers or extended family.
An expansive decked entertaining zone unfolds beneath the home, surrounded by lush tropical planting that creates a private, resort-like setting. Long lunches under the pergola, evening barbecues with friends, kids running barefoot across the lawn - this is outdoor living done properly.
The fully fenced section keeps things secure, while off-street parking leaves space for the boat or camper - essential ingredients for life this close to the coast.
And when it comes to lifestyle, few locations deliver like this. The beach and boardwalk sit just moments away, while downtown Mount’s cafés, restaurants and boutique shopping are an easy stroll when you feel like venturing out.
Some houses are simply well designed. Others are where life naturally gravitates - doors open, friends gathering, the sound of the ocean never far away. We invite you to come and see for yourself, you’ll be so glad you did.
