Overview

Timeless charm on the front row

Held within the same family for more than three decades, this rare waterfront residence presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a true front-row position on Marine Parade. Set on a freehold 769sqm (more or less), the property enjoys uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean and an increasingly scarce sense of space and privacy this close to the sand. The main home celebrates its 1960s character with raked ceilings, exposed beams, and a warmth that modern builds often can’t replicate. A refined contemporary colour palette enhances the original architecture, while the expansive gourmet kitchen, complete with stone benchtops, quality appliances, and a central island - forms the natural hub for everyday living and entertaining. The main residence is completed by three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, offering comfortable and practical living. Accommodation is generous and flexible, with separate guest quarters offering two bedrooms and a dedicated bathroom, plus an additional two bedrooms and second living area converted from the original garage. This thoughtful layout suits extended family living, hosting guests, or exploring the potential of a premium AirBnB retreat. Outdoors, wraparound decks at both the front and rear create seamless indoor–outdoor flow, ideal for year-round entertaining as ocean breezes and sunsets set the scene. Fully fenced and gated, the property provides ample space for boats, campers, pets, and children, a rare luxury in this tightly held waterfront pocket. With Mount Maunganui beach quite literally on your doorstep, this is coastal living in its purest form. Cherished for generations and now ready for its next chapter, opportunities like this are few and far between. Enquire today to arrange your private viewing and secure your place on Marine Parade.
