4/277 Tamaki Drive, Kohimarama, Auckland City, Auckland

What a position! What a view! Set back across the road from Auckland’s most popular city beach, this spacious 148m² first floor apartment embraces a breath-taking, full frontal waterfront panorama. Rangitoto Island is perfectly positioned across the harbour for your everyday enjoyment. Every day feels like a holiday!

Designed with architectural flair the apartment is part of The Sands, an iconic 1970s complex built of solid concrete along the Kohimarama parade. Each unit is spatially separated across a generous layout to impart a sense of independence with entry either by stairs or lift. Well-maintained gardens surrounding the building add to its appeal.

The complex’s exterior was recently repainted and these owners have also upgraded their 2-bedroom home with 2 brand new fully tiled bathrooms with underfloor heating, fresh paint throughout, new carpets, a new laundry and new sun blinds.

Large sunny north-facing living areas extend across the front aspect, projecting out to a loggia, a lovely, sheltered spot to sit and watch the world go by. An office nook is at one end and the dining space off the kitchen is at the other, with super generous storage and heated floors. Because of its size and layout, it hardly feels like an apartment and being set so far from the road, it is quiet.

Of the 2 bedrooms to the rear, one has an ensuite bathroom that includes a bath and shower. Your own double garage hides to the rear of the building and dedicated parking for tradies is handy. With great swimming metres away and just a short stroll to Kohi’s fantastic cafes and restaurants, the tennis club and other amenities, this is the relaxed easy lifestyle you have waited for. Why go on holiday? Don’t waste any more time.
