For the first time on the market, this much loved Ocean Road classic is ready to welcome its next chapter. Immaculately kept by the original owner, 218 Ocean Road is a substantial family home or spacious bach with endless opportunity, set just across from the sand and surf of Ohope Beach.
From the moment you step inside, the quality of the craftsmanship is obvious. A generous foyer with timber balustrades, frosted glass detailing, and a statement pendant light sets the tone – this is a high spec vintage that has aged like a fine whiskey: classy, solid, and always in fashion. Internal access to all three garages adjoins this slick foyer space, keeping coming and going easy in all weather.
Upstairs, the main living level is all about light, space, and that ocean view. A huge lounge and adjoining dining area span the width of the home, opening through sliders to the front deck. Here, spectacular views across dunes, Norfolk pines, and the rolling waves create a gorgeous daily backdrop, accompanied by the rhythm of the sea and ocean surge.
The original kitchen is an immaculately kept retro lover's delight – beautifully preserved cabinetry, excellent storage, and room to cook for a crowd. Three bedrooms on this level include a generous master suite with walk-in robe, ensuite, and private access straight out to the front balcony – the perfect place to greet the day with coffee and sea air.
Step outside and discover a private, fully fenced backyard that feels worlds away from the beachfront buzz. Established gardens brimming with flowers and foliage have been lovingly tended for decades, creating a peaceful sanctuary to unwind, entertain, or potter in the sun. A bore is in place for garden watering, helping keep lawns lush and beds blooming through the warmer months.
Comfort is well covered with a wood burner and heat pump to keep the home warm in winter and cool in summer. Even better, the property comes largely turn-key: beds, sofas, dining table, sideboards, washing machines, and most of the furnishings you see are included in the sale. Simply bring your bags, add your personal touches, and start enjoying the beach lifestyle from day one.
The vendor has already relocated and is ready to see this home onto its next chapter, to be loved by another as much as it was loved by them. Settlement before the holiday close down is possible if desired – perfectly timed for you to start enjoying Ocean Road living, this Christmas.
Whether you are seeking a large, well built coastal home for family living, a substantial holiday base for generations to come, or a rare chance to secure a piece of Ohope history, this property delivers. Solid, timeless homes in this position are tightly held – and this one is not going to stick around.
