1/31 Tamaki Bay Drive Pakuranga, Manukau City

As a highly coveted waterfront retreat with expansive views including the peaks of Rangitoto Island, this unique property is at the end of the street and nestled on the shores of Tamaki inlet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Perfect for executive families with work from home options, the daily scene outside your windows of powerboats and yachts plying the inlet waters will be just the tonic you need, and yet it's a mere 27minutes from the CBD.

For those who enjoy an alfresco lifestyle the incredibly sunny 245sqm two-storey residence embraces a substantial terraced plaza with custom built-in barbecue for entertaining. Original native timber floors, elegant plaster moulding, decorative glazing and timber joinery pay gracious homage to the home's origins. This is agreeably complemented by a fresh white contemporary interior with open plan living and dining areas flowing to the outdoors where lush tropical garden borders maintain privacy. The lofty kitchen is well-appointed and designed for sizeable catering with ample room for friends to gather and family to dine-in. Four double bedrooms run across both levels with the upper floor having the benefits of a cruise-ship deck shared by both bedrooms. Two on-trend bathrooms are tiled with modern fittings and a third is a powder room guest toilet. Ample storage throughout and the bonus opportunity to move your business home into the large office quarters. Your lunch hour at the water's edge will surely enhance productivity!

Parking in the oversize carport and room for off-street parking, the location next to the reserve increases play space for kids and pets. Saint Kentigern's School is 700 metres from the property and you're in zone for Edgewater College. Plenty of public transport is close by including the ferry at Half Moon Bay if an ocean-going commute is preferred.
