949 Whangarei Heads Road, Parua Bay, Whangarei, Northland

Surrounded by expansive coastal views and positioned to capture the very best of Parua Bay, this beautifully restored mid-century home combines authentic 1960s character with the specification and comfort expected of a modern coastal residence. Constructed in solid brick and block and upgraded with more than a quarter of a million dollars of recent refurbishment, the result is a high quality, move in ready home that stands well above typical mid-century offerings.

The upper level enjoys polished wooden floors, generous living spaces and a strong indoor outdoor connection. Two double bedrooms and a large single are supported by a brand new designer bathroom featuring a tiled walk in shower and heated towel rails, along with a new separate laundry. The light filled dining area flows to new kwila decking, overlooking a level, landscaped rear lawn prepared for a future swimming pool, with plans available. The contemporary designer kitchen opens to a large terracotta tile terrace and the original main deck, both superb vantage points for all day sun and sweeping views across the blue waters of Parua Bay. A conservatory turned home office completes this level.

The ground level delivers excellent flexibility. A spacious rumpus room or teenage retreat with its own kitchenette and bathroom sits alongside a double garage, significant workshop space and a Tesla charger. This configuration works well for multigenerational living, a home and income arrangement or as a strong lock up and leave base for coastal living.

The upgrades list is extensive. The home has been freshly waterproofed and painted, with a new roof, guttering and downpipes, new electrical switchboard and mains wiring, solar panels with battery storage, infrared heated wall panels with smart touch controls, a new hot water cylinder and a sparkling water tap. Outdoors you will find a newly concreted driveway with extra thick slab, Eurotech lighting, terraced retaining and landscaped gardens. A half pipe is positioned below the south west garden for those looking to keep their kickflips sharp.

The location is exceptional. A short walk leads to the beach or the iconic Parua Bay Tavern, with boat launching, the yacht club, jetties and the golf course all close by. The property is also in zone for Parua Bay Primary.

With its mid-century pedigree, significant modern upgrades and a coastal position that is difficult to match, this is a rare and impressive offering. Secure your viewing and experience this 60s classic reimagined for contemporary living.
