Tucked away in the heart of Mangawhai Village, this is the kind of home that lets you drive right past without thinking twice. From the road, it looks unassuming - but step inside and you'll discover a spacious family oasis that feels far larger than first impressions suggest.

The entryway offers the perfect spot to drop your sandy shoes before the home opens up into a massive, sun drenched sanctuary. High quality, wood look laminate stretches across the open plan living, dining, and kitchen, which was intentionally extended to create an extra large family hub.

Thanks to the wide stacker doors, the line between inside and out blurs together - the north facing, sunny backyard, features a large wraparound deck and heated pool. Designed entirely for convenience, the pool is both self cleaning and app controlled, log in and start warming the water before you leave Auckland.

The kitchen features sleek stone benchtops, and a combined scullery and laundry. Functioning as a full second prep area, it keeps the main kitchen clutter free - especially useful during those busy weekends with family and friends.

The home offers 4 generously sized bedrooms, the primary bedroom with its own ensuite, while the rest of the home is serviced by a separate toilet and a family bathroom, complete with a bath for soaking after a day in the surf.

Fenced and secure, the yard features a dedicated gate for boat parking. There is ample room for both a boat and a caravan, with space to add a garage down the track. Built with timeless cedar cladding, the home is entirely move in ready while still holding scope to add your own value.

It's a lifestyle that perfectly balances connectivity and coastal freedom. While it's an easy commute to Auckland, daily life here revolves around local beaches, surf breaks, and coastal walks. Even better, leave the car at home - the local markets, village shops, and Mangawhai Beach School are all just an easy walk away.

It is a hidden gem that must be experienced to be believed.
