Unparalleled Opportunity!
It once took all day for the family that owned this amazing waterfront property in Mairangi Bay to travel from Mt Albert across to Devonport by car ferry and up through all the North Shore beach settlements to their bach. Now it's more like 20 minutes over the Bridge. But it's a sentimental journey for the property has been in the same family since 1937.
'The 4 bedroom/3 bathroom bach' on the site today was built new in the late 1980s to a rather avant-garde yet solid architectural design. It features silvery band-sawn board and batten, sliding outdoor window screens that provide ventilation while adding security, and a beautiful, tall curved macrocarpa ceiling. This great home that celebrates the sun, sea and surf has been much loved by the family. You can feel the good-time vibes and if walls could talk they would tell many wonderful stories of blissful holidays enjoyed at the beach. With rustic timber pillars, and easy-to-keep-clean floors, the voluminous double height living area reaches out to a sheltered wraparound deck (perfect for barbecues) above a grassy lawn that rolls toward the beach. It's just a few steps to the boat shed - mere metres above the tideline - constructed from a gun emplacement built during the war. The flat roof is an excellent vantage point to scan the ocean from TiriTiri to Rangitoto and miles of white sandy beach between Murrays
Bay to the west and Campbells Bay to the east. The bach is well designed on 3 levels with a snug sitting area on the mid/entrance level and stairs that head down to the open plan kitchen/living space. It has 4 bedrooms - 2 up ad 2 down (2 with ensuites) in addition to the shower room at the mid level - ideal for dealing with sandy children.
For a bach, there's good storage with linen cupboards on both floors and there's tons of offstreet parking in front of the double carport.
With its many quirky features including an internal stained glass window, this delightful bach sits unpretentiously among the pohutukawa trees in a prized beachfront location around the corner from Mairangi Bay Village shops.
With foresight the family ensured the maximum flexibility in the crosslease covenant to enable future development on the site (retaining riparian rights).
In a prized beachfront location it's not exactly bach territory these days! A coveted once in a lifetime opportunity!
