If quieter days, more lawn and the Kaipara Harbour nearby sound like your kind of pace, this two-bedroom Tinopai home deserves a closer look. Set on a generous 1,017m² section with an 80m² floor plan and parking for two vehicles, it offers a simple coastal base with room to enjoy now and scope to add your own personality over time.

Natural light gives the living room a bright, relaxed feel, with the curved bay of windows adding character and drawing the outlook indoors. A heat pump keeps the room comfortable through the seasons, while the kitchen keeps the layout nicely defined, with ample cabinetry and a window above the bench. From here, the connection outside is straightforward, making it natural to move between meals indoors and time on the deck.

Both bedrooms are positioned away from the main living area and receive good natural light, while built-in storage in the main bedroom keeps everyday belongings tucked away. The bathroom includes a bath with a shower over it and the toilet is a useful bonus when mornings get busy. The single-level layout keeps the home uncomplicated and comfortable to live in.

The 1,017m² section is a standout, with an expansive lawn offering room for outdoor games, gardening or simply stretching out in the sun. A covered deck provides a sheltered place for morning coffee, summer lunches or quiet evenings, while mature planting adds a leafy backdrop. Two off-street carparks complete the day-to-day setup.

Tinopai is known for its relaxed Kaipara Harbour setting, with the local wharf, boat ramp and general store supporting days on and around the water, while Tinopai School serves Years 1 to 8.
