The current owner of this striking three-bedroom townhouse, situated in a quiet cul-de-sac just 100 metres from Takapuna’s ever-popular beach and a stone’s throw from its vibrant restaurant row, is sad to be putting it back on the market – due to a change in life circumstances.
However, he says that securing it earlier this year, in a pool of equally keen, fellow potential-purchasers, was a huge thrill.
“It’s just the most perfect property and it presents incredibly well. I think it’s a few years old, but you can’t go wrong with solid concrete block and the previous owners have cared for it meticulously and updated it to the very highest standard.”
The décor is cool and contemporary with extensive use of white and other shades inspired by nature, as befits the home’s beachside setting.

“I love to get up and enjoy an early breakfast on a sunny day and having a sea view to gaze at is just wonderful,” says the owner.
Set across two levels the property has two generous bedrooms and a chic, airy bathroom on the ground floor. There’s generous storage under the stairs and a large double garage provides extra space.
The owner says that in addition to the double garage, there is off-street parking for up to four additional cars, as well as plenty of on-street parking in Sanders Avenue itself, which is a significant bonus in these days of increased traffic levels and particularly handy when family and friends come to visit.

Upstairs lies the main living zone with a well-designed and equipped kitchen capturing sea views, complete with quality appliances and glamorous polished, parquet wooden floors.
The open-plan living is sun-drenched and provides spacious living, dining and breakfast bar areas. An impressive ocean vista is a stunning feature of the elegant master bedroom which boasts a pleasant, spacious ensuite and an enviable walk-in wardrobe.
The owner was especially attracted to the property’s outdoor living areas: a large, private courtyard at ground level with well-established, easy-care plantings and a sunny balcony on the upper level.
“It’s exactly what I’d always wanted. I was planning to do lots of entertaining and there’s an outdoor shower, so you don’t walk sand inside when you come back from the beach,” he says.

Barfoot & Thompson agent Christine Bell says: “It’s a very versatile home that appeals to a broad range of buyers.”
He explains that the home’s proximity to the Bruce Mason Theatre was another major attraction, as he is a keen supporter of the arts.
Christine Bell, from Barfoot & Thompson, Birkenhead, who is excited to be marketing this attractive property, says that interest in this popular part of the Shore has remained constant, even during the recent market cycle, and 26A Sanders Avenue is getting plenty of attention.
“It’s a very versatile home that appeals to a broad range of buyers – ranging from singles and busy executives, to retirees leaving large family properties and seeking the ultimate lock-up-and-leave lifestyle – but not an apartment with the hassles of a body corporate.”
She says that it’s also suitable for the smaller family who value the highly desirable Takapuna Grammar and Westlake Girls school zones.
