Set in Mangawhai Heads’ tightly held golden circle, 5 Albert Street is a meticulously crafted cedar-clad home offering exceptional coastal living. Completed in 2008, this four-bedroom residence combines architectural presence with a premium location-just a short walk to the estuary and pontoon, Wood Street shops and eateries, and the Mangawhai Golf Club.

Spanning two generous levels, the layout provides excellent separation and flexibility for families and guests. The lower level features two spacious bedrooms, a double bedroom, a multi-purpose room (ideal as a study, hobby space or guest overflow) and a versatile second living area, a family bathroom, ample storage, and internal access to an oversized 10.8m x 6.1m double garage with room for all the toys. A flat concrete driveway adds abundant off-street parking for extra vehicles, a motorhome.

Upstairs, the light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area flows seamlessly to expansive timber decking via large stacking sliders. Bespoke wire balustrades preserve sweeping views across the Mangawhai Estuary to the Hen and Chicks Islands. Raked ceilings and an Escea gas fire add warmth and scale, while the well-appointed kitchen features engineered stone benchtops and quality appliances.

The master suite is a private retreat with elevated views, a walk-in wardrobe, and a beautifully tiled ensuite. Further highlights include premium cedar cladding, central lighting and fan control, 2 x heat pumps, multiple concrete water tanks, and easy-care landscaped grounds.

Equally suited to full-time living or a luxurious weekend escape, 5 Albert Street is a refined coastal sanctuary in one of Mangawhai Heads’ most desirable pockets.
