324C Sylvia Road, Whangamata, Thames-Coromandel, Waikato

A location so good the house has been in the same family since new. And a beach house so good it has barely changed since built. The living is open plan with a window seat for catching the afternoon and evening rays. Two bedrooms, yet the rooms are spacious with huge wardrobes and the internal-access garage is a bonus as a summer hangout area for the kids. A heat pump for modern comfort. The house captures the sun and boasts a lovely backyard – fully fenced and gated to protect the family and pets. This is your chance to take over the vision and modernise as you wish, or continue with the original carefree Whangamata beach life. Only the shortest of strolls to the estuary beach and not much further to the surf club. The Estuary store and takeaway is close by, as is the legendary Blackies cafe and Achilles store. You really feel you are in the centre of the axis of the estuary and surf areas in this vibrant beach town. This is a must-view: call Andrew McGee 021 135 5158.
