Classic Ōhope beach bach

.

Nestled just steps away from the golden sands of Ōhope Beach, 90 Pohutukawa Avenue offers a blend of versatility, charm, and a quintessential Kiwi lifestyle.

This is a classic two-storey 1940s bach that presents a wonderful opportunity for families, holidaymakers, or investors looking for a home-and-income option in one of New Zealand’s most beloved coastal locales.

It’s quirky, full of character and oozes potential. Enjoy it as it is, or consider it a blank canvas that you can renovate and work on to suit your needs.

The home boasts three generously sized bedrooms and two living areas, providing ample space for relatives or guests. The adaptable layout easily accommodates multi-generational living or can be transformed into guest accommodation.

Upon entering the ground floor, you are greeted by a spacious open plan living area that is flooded with natural light. The lounge and kitchen are north-facing and seamlessly connected to a sunny step-down dining area at the back of the home.

French doors from the tiled dining area lead to a sheltered and private patio area that is perfect for entertaining or as an escape from the sun.

The ground floor also features a generously sized bedroom with deck access, alongside a large family bathroom, complete with bathtub and separate shower. The laundry facilities are cleverly tucked away behind cupboard doors.

Venture upstairs, and the home continues to impress with its blend of character and functionality. The spacious second living area features comfortable bay window seating, and a sun-soaked deck that offers neighbourhood and sea views. There’s also a small kitchenette up here.

There are two substantial bedrooms upstairs with the front bedroom featuring sloping ceilings, exposed beams, and his-and-hers wardrobes. The second bedroom is even larger.

Although it is one of Pohutukawa Avenue’s longest standing homes, it has been updated over the years with a modern kitchen, aluminum joinery and a heat pump. The décor is neutral and feels fresh but there is plenty of opportunity to improve and personalise the spaces.

With a small section to maintain, this property is perfect for busy families or those seeking a low-maintenance beach bach at the western end of Pohutukawa Avenue.

Just a stone’s throw from the beach, Ōhope Village shops, cafés, and scenic walking tracks, the location is perfect and highly sought-after.

Two weeks remain before this home goes to auction. It will not be sold prior.
