5 Citrus Place, Mangawhai, Kaipara, Northland

This architecturally designed, two-bedroom, two-bathroom home is sure to impress with its sleek, contemporary aesthetic.

With a light and bright open-plan living zone, this is a quality design that simply works. Carefully considered details include recessed sill and bottom rail stacking glass doors that ensure a flush finish and ultra-smooth transition from indoors to out.

The kitchen features a mixture of premium Fisher & Paykel and Bosch appliances, along with a generous pantry for those who love to stay well stocked making this space as functional as it is stylish. The lengthy breakfast bar delivers a perfect place for social connection. The contemporary vibe continues on into the stylish bathroom, complete with quality fixtures and a cleverly integrated laundry.

Outdoors, the deck wraps around two sides of the home, giving you the freedom to chase the sun or unwind in the shade as you wish. Full length bistro blinds provide all season versatility, transforming the area into a year-round haven.

Upstairs is the generous master bedroom with a walk-through robe, a second generous bedroom and bathroom. Large feature windows welcome in natural light and frame views of the sea whilst the double-height void enhances the sense of space.

This lovely home is situated in the resort-like Harbourside estate, home to just 24 freehold properties and could be the perfect solution for permanent and semi-permanent residents alike wanting a special place by the sea. There is a pristine swimming pool for residents' use as well as an orangery to relax in with a book and soak up the sun during the cooler months.

An abundance of maturing citrus trees adorn common areas and covenants require that at least one owner on the title be over 50 years of age. All owners must be members of the Residents Society who each own a 1/24th share of the common land.

This tucked-away gem is certainly well worth viewing in person.
