33 Patteson Avenue, Mission Bay, Auckland

Beach lifestyle: Savvy investment

Enjoy your best beach life, waking to the sound of seagulls reminding you your morning latte awaits in a choice of great cafes along the Mission Bay waterfront.

This substantial 435sqm (approx.) family home, on a huge 809sqm (more or less) site is a short, easy stroll to the beach parade. Large properties in this sought-after seaside location on the flat seldom come to the market. Not only is this a great opportunity to experience the relaxed holiday vibe every day, but the Mixed Housing Urban zoning adds potential for significant future capital gains.

The well-presented five-bedroom home is exceptionally spacious and light with a wonderful layout for a family. Entertain in the formal lounge warmed by a gas fire off a huge welcoming entry foyer. Or spread out in the enormous open plan living where a double height atrium creates grandeur above the dining area. From the large well-equipped kitchen with scullery, adults can supervise children playing in the lovely manicured private garden. Doors open wide to a vast, sheltered, full-width terrace, where a large spa pool and outdoor fire ensure barbecue get-togethers are sensational. A third living area upstairs is yet another option that creates flexibility as a chill-out space.

Guests can stay separate from the family in a bedroom with adjacent bathroom on the ground floor. All other bedrooms, plus an office and family bathroom are upstairs. The large master suite has a sizeable ensuite and walk-in wardrobe while other bedrooms open to balconies. Storage is generous throughout and the over-sized double garage has a huge capacity for more. There's also more parking with good off-street behind the electronic gate and easy parking on the street.

Undoubtedly, a fabulous lifestyle choice and an extremely savvy investment. Minutes' drive to top private schools, Eastridge shops and CBD. Think smart! Make a purchase decision your family will love!
