Positioned in sought-after McLeod Bay, this two-level, dual-living home combines timeless character with modern comfort, set against a stunning coastal backdrop. From the kitchen, you are immediately drawn to the impressive outlook towards Mount Manaia, while the dining and living areas flow effortlessly to both front and rear decks, capturing sun and the sparkling blue waters of the bay throughout the day. The front deck has been thoughtfully enclosed with sliding windows, creating a light-filled, semi-enclosed living space that significantly extends the home's usable area, offering year-round enjoyment while still capturing the outlook and natural light.
The lower level offers excellent flexibility, featuring a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with open-plan living and kitchenette, flowing out to a covered patio. This level also includes its own bathroom and cleverly integrated bunk beds beneath the stairs, ideal for extended family, guests, or potential income. Adjacent to the double garage is a separate laundry and an additional room currently set up as an office, which could easily be converted into further accommodation.
Practicality has been carefully considered, with a grid-tied solar system and battery pack supporting energy efficiency, solar hot water system, along with a recently installed chairlift connecting both levels. Whether retained for convenience or removed, it adds a layer of future-proofing for a range of living situations.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with two further bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate toilet. The master bedroom enjoys a particularly special position, where mornings begin with uninterrupted views across the bay. From the upper deck, a ramp provides easy access to the rear grounds, where a manageable garden offers space for vegetables or flowers in a peaceful, sheltered setting beneath the mountain.
A separate workshop cabin at the rear provides additional versatility, well suited as a quiet office, studio, or overflow accommodation. The fully fenced and gated front section offers ample space for children and pets, along with generous off-street parking for vehicles, boats, or a caravan.
Set within easy reach of the water, this location offers a lifestyle centred around the coast, with kayaking, swimming, diving, and walking tracks all close by, along with convenient access to local amenities including Whangarei Heads School, The Deck Cafe, and the Mt Manaia Club. Parua Bay Village is approximately 8 kilometres away, with central Whangarei within a comfortable commute.
