3 Driftwood Place Mangawhai Heads, Kaipara District

This impressive, 330 sqm, two-storey coastal family home makes a strong statement with ocean and island views from its upper level. The exterior perfectly complements its surroundings, featuring Macrocarpa posts, Cedar weatherboard accents, Shadowclad plywood cladding, and a durable iron roof. Surrounding the home are lush subtropical gardens and rustic Brushstick fencing, which evoke a sense of tranquility reminiscent of a Pacific Island paradise.

A covered roof overhang provides shelter for the double garage and front entry. Upon entry, a welcoming tiled foyer leads to the downstairs living area and internal access double garage. A spacious utility room offers external access to the west backyard, and a fully tiled bathroom adds convenience to the ground floor. The lower level also includes a generously sized second lounge/massive bedroom with external access to the lower patio and north front garden. A versatile space that can be used as either a second downstairs bedroom or a home office provides privacy, ideal for whatever your family's needs are.

Carpeted stairs lead upstairs to an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. Stacking sliding doors open onto a large east-facing deck with the calming ocean views, while additional sliding doors lead to a west-facing timber deck with external stairs to the rear gardens. Comfort is assured year-round, with a Panasonic Nanoex air conditioner in the open-plan living areas and the cosy warmth of a gas fireplace for those cooler evenings.

A hallway off the living room provides access to the main bathroom and three generously sized bedrooms. The master bedroom features large sliding doors that open onto a peaceful covered east-facing timber deck, a walk-through wardrobe, and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom.

Fenced to the rear, for privacy and security, this property is ideal for families and pets, offering a perfect blend of space, comfort, and coastal charm. With a sought-after Mangawhai Heads address close to Wood St eateries and cafes, this property deserves your attention. Surplus to requirements, with a well-motivated owner, this big & bold Mangawhai Heads' home will be SOLD!
