When it comes to residential addresses on the North Shore, it doesn't get much better than Hurstmere Road in Takapuna. It is home to the iconic Mon Desir apartments. This extremely comfortable 181m2 apartment offers beachside living at its best - very seldom found with such a huge range of features. Facing east, this single level apartment sits on the 1st floor, enjoying beautiful morning sunrises and views over the beautifully manicured lawns and gardens to the sparkling Hauraki Gulf. The Mon Desir is just a quick, flat walk from everything Takapuna has to offer. A gate opens onto Hurstmere Road, to the vast and ever-growing selection of cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques. There's a cinema and theatre for touches of culture, as well as a library and public swimming pool. There is also access to Takapuna beach, where you can enjoy a morning stroll, paddleboard, refreshing dip during summer, or watch the boats launching at the ramp. As soon as you open the front door you will be captivated by the size of the living space and rich wooden floors have been utilised throughout the open plan dining and living area giving you the opportunity to dress the apartment to your taste. The lounge and master bedroom enjoy access to the very spacious tiled balcony with room for outdoor furniture and BBQ. There are 3 large double bedrooms, master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, and the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms both open out onto their own balcony. For those looking for additional space this apartment also has a study which could be a sewing room, library or small media room. The apartment comes with a large tandem carpark and a very generous storage room. There are also four dedicated visitor parks allocated to this building. Residents are able to exclusively utilise the indoor gym, sauna and in-ground heated swimming pool. The grounds and gardens at The Mon Desir are extensive, and beautifully maintained, with lots of lawn to kick a ball. A fantastic lifestyle opportunity not to be missed!
