43A Carysfort Street, Mt Maunganui, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty

This discreetly screened property sitting close to the beachfront has just been significantly renovated by meticulous vendors. Bearing little resemblance to its 1990s roots the entirely transformed home has been a labour of love with the Hardiplank and brick exterior now painted a crisp white. For busy people who love playing in the water and seek proximity also to sand, golf clubs, and retail shopping on steroids, this 297 sqm (approx.) property on a rear section is ideal.

With its 120 sqm (approx.) floor plan, the partially double-glazed home has the uncanny ability to feel bigger on the inside than the numbers convey. A well curated interior evokes a dreamy marine vibe with light timber floors and white walls in a sun-splashed open plan north facing living and dining area integrating ranch sliders connecting decks front and rear, one with built in seating. The kitchen retains the polar white concept with contrast provided by light grey waterfall benchtop elegantly merging with much favoured subway tiles and stainless-steel appliances. Three bedrooms and a generously proportioned home office (or nursery) are thoughtfully configured to give the master bedroom some agreeable separation from the others. The family bathroom features oversize gloss white tile back splash in the frameless glass bathtub with shower overhead while the master bedroom has a useful ensuite and walk in robe. The laundry is separate and has back door exiting to the deck and gardens while a freestanding garden shed has storage for excess baggage.

In zone for both Arataki School and Omanu School, the property is pivotally addressed for the easy saunter to both Bayfair and the beaches. A short drive to link into arterial routes for commuting to Papamoa, the Mount, CBD and Tauriko, this is your cue to start packing if you are a small family, professional couple, empty nesters, or holiday home vacationers.
