If you are seeking a home with character and something just a little bit different, then this property may be just what you have been looking for. Set behind an electric gate, this private, striking tropical oasis combines classic charm with modern features. Built in the 1950s, this home has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve much of its original charm. The recent extension added a spacious open-plan lounge, decking, and an upstairs master suite with a walk-in wardrobe and modern ensuite. It takes full advantage of the beautiful sea views over Stanmore Bay. In your private sanctuary, you can enjoy plenty of north-facing sunshine and scenery. The newer part of the home has double-glazing while the original part retains its charm with solid wooden flooring, timber joinery and open fireplace. Downstairs, there are two double bedrooms with built-in robes and a spacious family bathroom. The cosy kitchen, featuring a unique stone benchtop, is the heart of the home and opens out to the covered rear deck complete with pull-down café blinds, creating a private space for entertaining. The covered laundry is located outside on the side deck, which gives you extra space inside the home. There is plenty of off-street parking available behind the gates, including room for a boat. There is a spa pool and Norwegian sauna being sold with the property. This home truly stands out and offers something unique. It's conveniently close to Stanmore Bay Beach, the Leisure Centre, schools, shops, and public transport. You'll also have easy access to Orewa, Silverdale, and the motorway, making it ideal for commuters. When the Penlink is finished, it will be just a short drive away. Stanmore Bay is known for its relaxed coastal lifestyle, strong sense of community, and easy access to all the amenities on the Hibiscus Coast. The rear section of this property has been subdivided, and the 501sqm site at 1 Carento Way is also for sale. If you're interested in both the home and the section, this is a rare chance to secure one or both. Contact Sarah today for more information. You can arrange a viewing by appointment or attend one of the advertised open homes. Conjunctionals with other agents always welcome.
