A swim after school is an easy yes when you can walk down to the beach. With summer on its way, the bigger question at 8 Ngatira Place might be how many you’re feeding afterwards.

From the upgraded kitchen, it's a few steps to the table out on the deck. The kids can come straight up the outside stairs from the lawn, towels over their shoulders, while you find another chair for whoever's staying. The covered deck wraps around two sides of the house, with shade for lunch and a view across the rooftops to the bay. Both the lounge and dining area open onto it, so you can see the water from inside too.

The main bedroom has a sea view and opens straight onto the deck. Before the kids wake up, you can slip outside with your coffee and have the bay to yourself for a few minutes. All three bedrooms are together upstairs, along with the family bathroom and a separate toilet. One of the other bedrooms has a glazed sitting area of its own.

For families with teenagers, the big rumpus room downstairs might be the room that wins them over. There’s space for their mates to spread out and put a film on while you finish dinner on the deck. There’s also a bathroom downstairs, with its consent status still to be confirmed.

If you’re a boating family, there's room to park the boat at home and keep the rods and tackle in the double garage. When the forecast looks good, hitch up and head out for a fish. On mornings when the boat stays put, the kids can get their bikes out and ride the beachside path between the playgrounds. The current owner often walks to the shops and the library, stopping for a chat with neighbours along the way.

The current owner's favourite part of living here comes after dark.

"For me, the best part is watching the full moon come up over the bay. It's absolutely stunning out there."

Bring the family to see 8 Ngatira Place, then walk down to the beach together. On the way back, picture your kids coming up those outside steps, asking if their mates can stay for dinner. You've got room for another plate.
