5/199 Papamoa Beach Road, Papamoa, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty

Located in an exclusive gated community fronting the beach this immaculate property with sea views is surrounded by similarly high-quality beachside homes. Within an estate sharing resident’s tennis court with cabana and surrounding green common/play area flanking the dunes, this lovely Hamptons inspired coastal retreat is ideally suited as permanent home for a growing family or as a much-anticipated holiday escape.

The 254sqm (approximate) predominately brick and tile home has lofty portico protecting double front door entry into the reception foyer with dramatic full height atrium. The entire interior is tastefully curated using tiled and timber planking flooring, sisal carpet, extensive white plantation shutter window treatments and black wrought iron balustrades. Air conditioned throughout, the home is naturally well-ventilated too, with multiple exits from upper floor living room and dining area flowing out to a huge wraparound balcony with elevated water views. The near new designer kitchen with scullery has French Provincial cabinetry, solid stone waterfall bench, the latest appliances and tapware and a welcoming sense of inclusion with the dining zone. Bedrooms are split between floors with one on the upper floor beside the guest toilet potentially a home office. Downstairs, all three bedrooms come with their own walk in closet and chic Italian inspired ensuite while the main bedroom adds in a heat pump and smooth access to patio and intimate spa pool area. A king-sized internal access double garage integrates the laundry and there’s ample off-street parking on a cobblestone forecourt.

Tropical palms sway in sea breezes to lock and load the resort lifestyle while coastal hardy planting on the fully fenced section keeps maintenance to a minimum. Directly across the road, Fresh Choice supermarket is conveniently close, along with Good Home Gastropub and Pearl Kitchen for the coffee catch ups while Bayfair is a swift 5-minute car journey from home.
