Summer never seemed so great! - $600000

Description

Price Indication: $750,000+ This classic home sweeps you back to the days of lingering summers, popsicles from the dairy, playing tag and having wars with the other kids in the neighbourhood, building forts, collecting shells and playing house - the things we used to do when our innocence was there, and before this modern world took over. With views over Muriwai Beach and an elevated position this great three bedroom home can be enjoyed just as it is or developed to reflect a modern lifestyle, whilst still providing your children with the opportunity to recreate the childhood world and dreams that you so enjoyed. Muriwai - for a life less ordinary. About the area. What is it like to live in this spectacular location? On a clear day you can see forever. Muriwai offers what very few other places in Auckland can - a mix of tranquillity and adventure! The locals don't tend to leave very often which means that there is a steady demand for quality property in the area. Having started out as a remote Bach community down the end of a long dirt road, Muriwai still retains much of its charm (although it is less remote and the streets are sealed!). The local community have worked very hard to ensure that what makes Muriwai special is retained and the Community Plan for Muriwai has been adopted by the council with a huge emphasis on conservation and protection in the area. Under this plan Muriwai cannot be over developed with in-fill housing projects and the public spaces are kept for the community. As a destination Muriwai attracts large numbers of visitors who come out to play. Surfing, parasailing, model plane flying, kite surfing, running, horse riding, cycling, bush walking, trail bike riding, fishing, gannet watching, photography and painting, are some of the main activities that Muriwai has to offer. It is a very vibrant and exciting place to live, and everyday you share this awesome place with the ocean, the birds, and the stars. But what about the traffic? There is no denying that if you left town at 5pm it will take you about the same amount of time to get to Muriwai as it would to get to Manurewa, or Howick, or some other outer Auckland suburb. Off-peak it is only about 35 minutes to downtown Auckland, Wairau Park, Albany or Waitakere. When you live here you fail to notice the traffic, it pales into insignificance every time you look out your front door. If the traffic is too long, your life really is too short. And on a sunny Saturday morning you can wander down the road to the fantastic Sandunz Cafe and enjoy your pancakes with bacon and syrup, a large hot latte and celebrate a life over-easy.
