Urban Oasis

Vincent van Gogh, once said that "fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore". It's the same attraction and emotion that draws us to the beach today. As soon as the weather is warm enough, we pack our bags and head for the coast, seeking sun sand and sea as the days pass to the sound of lapping waves on the shore, and fish-and-chip packets crackling. Just moments from Kohimarama beach sits your opportunity to turn a day at the beach into your everyday. This 1980s home sits close enough to the shoreline that the difference between putting your feet in the sand or putting them in work shoes is separated by only a few minutes walk.

Designed with an open-plan living space that opens into the north-facing garden, it's not hard to imagine balmy summer evenings spent with a good book and glass of wine or a BBQ with friends. The home enjoys floor-to-ceiling windows that give it plenty of light and warmth and make it a pleasure to live in all year round. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms ensure that the morning rush to school and work is calm and collected with the added bonus of a double garage with internal access.

Melanesia Road itself is secluded and quiet, while the local cafes and shops

just a few minutes down the road, offer multiple opportunities for coffee and food. Finally, for the parents amongst you who're hunting for your next home, 58B is zoned for both the highly sought after Kohimarama Primary School, and Glendowie College, both of which are within easy reach of your front door and Madills Farm Park a very easy walk for those children with bounds of energy.

It's not hard to imagine this home becoming your home, and the lifestyle you can create here is second to none. Homes in this location are few and far between and is not an opportunity to be missed.
