All the hard work is done here so don't worry - just be happy in the sun on the front deck of this north facing three-bedroom coastal gem. Subjected to a recent smarten up to give it that fresh glow, you'd also be smart to make this your first home, solid rental investment or a lock-and-leave pad.

First impressions last, so the stylishly curated landscaping at the front is a tantalising promise of things to come while the elevated deck awaits your summer barbecues with friends and family. Brand-new double-glazed sliders flank a generously proportioned dining room and lounge with brand new heat pump and trendy neutral decor. There's ample room for the 3-piece suite and a family dining table to sit beside a light and cheerful open plan kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and a sunny outlook. Easy flow leads to the back courtyard where a beach-style cabana is crying out for the bartender to get busy and shake up a cocktail or two. All the bedrooms are doubles and well-served by a spacious tiled bathroom with separate toilet and neighbouring separate laundry. The garage conveniently backs onto the courtyard for possible adaption for party overflow. This also stands as a sizable space for a vehicle and the usual coastal clobber that goes with a lifestyle just minutes from amazing beaches.

A flat section fenced for pets and the low maintenance nature of this superb property will be music to the ears of busy people. With Bayfair, Baywave, Papamoa shopping and the surf all in close proximity, the location is another tick on the right side of the ledger for those looking for their dream home.
