Where home meets horizon, 18C Rita Street delivers the kind of lifestyle usually reserved for apartment living – but without the compromise of body corp fees. Designed by Will Tatton and built by David Shaw Builders, this architectural sanctuary rises above the Mount, offering lock-and-leave ease, overflow space for family and friends, and views that stop you in your tracks.
Across four levels, each floor has been thoughtfully designed to blend high-end living with everyday function. A commercial-grade lift connects them all, but the journey is best savoured – from expansive balconies that capture the Mount, Pilot Bay, and the Pacific Ocean, to interiors layered with light, warmth, and style.
The master suite commands the entire second floor, its private lounge, patios, gas fire, and walk-through dressing room creating your own retreat with an intimate, luxury feel. Each of the three additional bedrooms enjoy their own balcony access, offering rare separation and privacy for guests, teens, or extended family.
At the top, the heart of the home unfolds in open-plan living, dining, and a high-specification kitchen where porcelain benchtops, premium appliances, and a generous island meet full-height sliders framing ocean-to-harbour panoramas. It’s a stage set for entertaining or simply soaking in the daily theatre of coastal life. From here, the cafés, boutiques, and beaches of Mount Maunganui are not just a short walk away – they’re right in sight, anchoring the home firmly in the heart of the action.
The ground floor offers versatility – a private office, gym, or studio – while underfloor heating, double glazing, and smart design details ensure comfort and efficiency year-round. A large double garage and ample storage complete the picture, making the lock-and-leave lifestyle as seamless as it is enviable.
More than a home, this is a vantage point – a rare combination of prestige design, practical function, and a coastal rhythm that makes every day feel like a holiday.
To be sold by tender - closes on 23 October (unless sold prior).
