Positioned high on sought after Cheviot Street, this unique property delivers an enviable combination of coastal views, privacy and versatility. Capturing sweeping outlooks across the estuary, sandspit, ocean and offshore islands, the property offers far more than first meets the eye. A beach house, barn with studio loft and expansive lawns come together to create an exceptional coastal retreat.
Set on a mostly level 1,045sqm (more or less) site, the three-bedroom home and study which could be used as a fourth bedroom is arranged over two levels, with multiple decks designed to capture the sun and spectacular outlook. Upstairs, spacious open-plan living is complemented by a stylishly refurbished kitchen, with bar seating positioned to make the most of the views.
The main living area opens to a north-facing deck which is an idyllic spot for morning coffee while taking in the coastal scenery. To the rear, a large sheltered western deck creates another generous outdoor living zone, perfect for afternoon entertaining and relaxed summer evenings. The spacious master suite also opens to the deck and enjoys views across the estuary and sandspit.
Downstairs provides further bedrooms and flexible living spaces, with direct access to ground level decking. A versatile multi-use room offers excellent options as a home office, media room, teenage retreat or creative studio, while a separate laundry adds everyday practicality. Solar panels with battery storage and the ability to feed power back into the grid are another valuable feature.
Adding another dimension is the substantial barn-style building positioned at the rear of the property. Downstairs, high-stud double garaging provides excellent space for a boat, vehicles and recreational equipment together with a workshop area. Above, a generous self-contained studio with its own bathroom and balcony offers exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, working from home or Airbnb income.
Outside, the expansive lawn, established trees and tropical plantings create a private and relaxed setting with plenty of room for children, pets, tents, lawn games and additional parking.
The location completes the picture. Just approximately 500 metres from the estuary, it's easy to wander down for a swim, launch a paddleboard or kayak, while nearby Lincoln Reserve is popular for foiling and windsurfing. Mangawhai's cafes, markets, beach and amenities are also within easy reach, yet the quiet cul-de-sac setting provides a wonderful sense of privacy.
Whether you're searching for a permanent coastal home, a relaxed holiday retreat or a property with genuine flexibility for family with additional accommodation, 42 Cheviot Street offers an exceptional Mangawhai Heads lifestyle with an outlook to match.
