Ocean views, immaculate quality

First time to market, this substantial coastal residence delivers the kind of scale, quality and position that is increasingly difficult to find in Papamoa.

Built by renowned Harwood Homes and constructed in solid Celcrete on a cavity with a concrete tile roof, the home has been meticulously maintained and presents in immaculate condition. With a floor area of 369sqm (more or less) set across a beautifully landscaped site of 853sqm (more or less), the proportions are generous throughout, while the elevated north-facing position captures expansive ocean views toward Motiti Island, Mayor Island and Mauao, a beautiful outlook that is protected for the future.

A grand double-door entrance opens into an impressive foyer, where a sweeping staircase immediately establishes the sense of space and presence that continues throughout the home. A lift provides effortless connection between both levels.

Downstairs, a substantial third living area / billiard room creates a superb retreat, complete with a sink for wet-bar-style facilities, along with a Polk Audio surround sound speaker system powered by a Denon amplifier and complemented with a Panasonic TV. Two generous bedrooms are positioned nearby, one with its own vanity, along with a beautifully tiled main bathroom with underfloor heating. Both the bedrooms and living area connect directly to a private covered courtyard and established landscaped gardens, where a bespoke marine-grade stainless steel water feature adds a distinctive design element.

Upstairs is where the home truly opens to the coast. The formal lounge, kitchen and family living area occupy the north-facing side of the residence, with wide sliding doors extending the living spaces onto a large balcony (both covered and uncovered) overlooking the ocean.

Generous proportions, striking recessed tray ceilings and a gas fire give the living areas warmth and presence, while a heat pump provides additional year-round comfort. The kitchen sits centrally between the formal and family living spaces, creating a natural dialogue between the two. Substantial and highly functional, the kitchen is anchored by a large waterfall island and complemented by an integrated microwave, 1.5 wall oven, gas cooktop and a plumbed fridge/freezer. Underfloor heating through the kitchen adds another layer of comfort and thoughtful functionality.

Also positioned upstairs, the primary suite is exceptionally generous. A large walk-in wardrobe is paired with an equally impressive tiled ensuite with underfloor heating, featuring double vanities, a spa bath and walk-in shower, creating a true private retreat. A further large bedroom and convenient powder room complete this level.

A separate laundry, central vacuum system and internal access add to the home's everyday ease, while one of its most valuable features is the rarely available triple-car garaging, an exceptional offering in this tightly held coastal location.

Outside, the fully fenced grounds are mature, private and beautifully landscaped, with ample space to explore the addition of a swimming pool if desired. Equally, the established gardens and generous site make the property immediately enjoyable exactly as it is.

Positioned on one of Papamoa's most sought-after streets, the front gate provides easy access to the beach, while cafés, eateries, bars and Papamoa Plaza are all within easy reach.

Substantial yet beautifully considered, this is a home with genuine presence, combining enduring build quality, impressive proportions, exceptional garaging and protected ocean views in one of Papamoa's most desirable coastal settings.
