Mt Maunganui 14 Pitau Road

Downtown Mount Location

Part of the owner's New Year's wish list is that a new family finds the same joy in living here that she had for so many years. That won't be hard. Firstly, there's the location. A gate from the backyard has you ordering coffee from the markets at Coronation Park in two minutes, before you saunter on down to Pilot Bay, plant yourself on the bank, and enjoy watching the sea lapping the shore. For the energetic, the Mount is right there to climb, you could surf the waves at the main beach, or just head into the village for a spot of shopping. Better yet, stay put at home. Expansive decks to the front and side, flowing naturally off the lounge or sun room, track the sun from dawn to dusk. The sizable backyard, partially shaded by fruit producing Avocado and macadamia trees, provides a level of privacy that can otherwise be a little hard to find in this central location. The two level home, currently separated into two separate living arrangements, can be easily reunited, with the stairwell still in place, albeit cleverly hidden for now. Wooden accents give a nod to the home's 1980s origins. Well laid out to produce practicality and ease of use, you can comfortably hang on to the nostalgia of yesteryear, or stamp your mark on a modernisation plan. When you have a property where the whole is more than the sum of its parts, you've arrived at this Pitau Road home.
