235 Pukehina Parade Pukehina, Western Bay Of Plenty District

Wake to the sound of the surf and step just a few easy steps onto the sand from this exceptional five-bedroom, two-bathroom residence set on the absolute beachfront. With the beach quite literally at your doorstep, mornings can begin with a paddle in the kayak, a surf, a fish off the shore or a long walk along the water's edge. Designed to maximise its extraordinary coastal position, this home delivers a rare blend of space, comfort and front-row ocean living.

The lower level hosts three of the home's five generous bedrooms, a spacious modern bathroom and a relaxed family living zone, all centred around a highly functional kitchen. Stealing the spotlight is the alcove / conversational space that flows effortlessly from the kitchen and living area - a front-row seat to rolling waves, shifting tides and the thrill of spotting passing whales or the occasional shark. Throw open the bi-fold doors and let the sea breeze in as indoor and outdoor living merge seamlessly.

Entertaining comes naturally here. Expansive decking invites alfresco dining year-round and connects beautifully with two of the downstairs bedrooms, while a secondary lounge opens to a private spa pool area, the perfect place to unwind after long days spent on the beach. A discreet, tucked-away home office adds flexibility for those working from home.

Upstairs is a peaceful retreat, featuring two further bedrooms, completing the home's impressive five-bedroom layout. Each enjoys bi-fold windows framing uninterrupted ocean views, with one opening to its own private balcony - an idyllic spot for sunrise coffees or evening sunsets. A second bathroom and convenient kitchenette complete this level, allowing you to enjoy your morning cuppa without ever leaving your upstairs sanctuary. This space also lends itself beautifully to bed-and-breakfast-style or guest accommodation, without disrupting the main living areas.

Functionality is equally impressive, with internal access from the double garage, an additional carport, a separate laundry and secure gated entry. Low-maintenance living and easy-care grounds make this property perfectly suited as a lock-up-and-leave holiday escape or a permanent beachside home.

Set on approximately 220sqm of living across an 812sqm (more or less) site, this beautifully maintained residence is fresh, inviting and an increasingly rare coastal offering. Five-bedroom absolute beachfront homes, where the ocean and endless recreational opportunities are only steps away, are seldom available - this is beachfront living at its very best.
