The view is expansive, the renovation is next level, and the beach is an easy stroll away. This isn't a quick spruce-up. The current owner has gone all in. Warm tones, statement tiling, detailed negative paneling and thoughtful finishes across multiple levels, every corner has been carefully considered. It feels fresh, stylish and completely move-in ready. Step inside and the layout unfolds naturally. On the lower level, two bedrooms soak in the outlook, serviced by a beautifully finished modern bathroom. Head upstairs and the home opens up into a light-filled living zone where sunshine pours in and the bay becomes your everyday backdrop. The fully renovated kitchen connects seamlessly with dining and living, so whether you're cooking or entertaining, you're always part of the view. There's also a separate rumpus, perfect for a pool table, teenagers, guests, or simply a second space to spread out. At the top, a large mezzanine offers flexibility. Create a stunning primary suite, a zen retreat, a reading nook, yoga space, or simply somewhere to escape and breathe. The options are plenty. Outside, the transformation continues. Multiple decks give you different spaces to follow the sun, morning coffee with birdsong, long lunches overlooking the water, relaxed evenings after a swim at the beach. The landscaping has been thoughtfully executed and there's future scope too. On this 822sqm site, options have previously been explored to add garaging at the front or you may choose to investigate the future potential of this large freehold site under PC120. Yes, the driveway is steep, but once you're up here, you'll understand why it's worth it. There's generous parking, two carports and space to turn around comfortably. And then there's the lifestyle. Arkles Bay is still that old-school coastal community where neighbours know each other, tractors tow boats to the ramp on weekends, and kids grow up with sand between their toes. The beach is sheltered and safe, ideal for swimming, paddleboarding and dog walks. You're also just minutes to the Whangaparaoa Plaza and Stanmore Bay Shopping Centre, making everyday errands simple, while Penlink well underway will only improve access to the North Shore. In this price bracket, finding a renovation of this calibre, with views like this and a genuine coastal lifestyle, is rare.
