Directly opposite the pohutukawa-lined sands of Langs Beach, this modern and elegant home sits front row to one of Northland's most photographed stretches of coastline. From the moment you sit down, the view is already there. White sand, blue water and the outer islands are framed through the living area, close enough to feel part of the room. Morning coffee comes with the changing colours of the bay; by evening, the same outlook takes on an entirely different mood as the light moves across the water. Tinted stacker doors span the width of the living area, opening the home completely to the deck and allowing the coastal outlook to flow uninterrupted from the kitchen bench to the sea. Step outside and you're close enough to hear the waves - a constant reminder that Langs Beach is right across the road. And what a beach it is. Pohutukawa shade the beach, with swings and picnic tables for the younger ones, while the sheltered southern end of the bay offers easy access for boats, launched directly from the sand by tractor. Swim in the clear, sheltered waters, paddle along the shoreline, cast a line from the rocks or head out on the water, or simply find a quiet patch of sand, settle in with a good book and let the afternoon disappear. Summer days naturally unfold here, but the beauty of this location is that it doesn't switch off when the holiday season ends. It's just as appealing on a quiet Tuesday in June as it is with the whole family gathered for January. Then there's the simplicity of the home itself. This is a property that asks remarkably little of you - an increasingly rare quality for a beachfront home. Whether you're managing it from overseas, fitting it around a demanding career, running a busy family household, or simply don't want your holiday house to become another job, this is genuine lock-up-and-leave living. A small front lawn is the only garden to maintain; the remainder of the section is concrete, leaving no ride-on mower, extensive planting or weekend maintenance waiting for you. Inside, the design is contemporary yet grounded in its coastal setting. Open-plan living and dining sit across polished concrete floors beneath a negative-detail plywood ceiling, while cedar and schist bring warmth and texture to the material palette. The master bedroom enjoys its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while two further bedrooms share a beautifully tiled family bathroom and separate WC. A dedicated internal laundry completes the practical layout. But ultimately, this home is about where you are. Wake to the ocean. Walk across the road for a swim. Come home from the beach and leave the doors open to the sound of the waves. Entertain on the deck while the bay provides the backdrop. Fall for it on the first walk-through - a beautifully considered beach home where the setting does most of the work, and the view never needs an introduction.

Architecturally exceptionally clever, this charming square-front villa has been reimagined to accommodate family life in all its forms.   Behind its classic façade, the home unfolds into a series of beautifully proportioned, light-filled spaces. High ceilings retain the villa’s sense of character, while the architectural redesign introduces a layout that feels calm, connected and remarkably easy to live in. What distinguishes this home from many villas in the Avenues is the separation and privacy between its bedrooms and living areas. Children of different ages, blended families, guests and those working from home can all have space of their own, without losing the warmth of coming together. It is a genuinely intelligent floor plan that understands how families live today.   Positioned on the sought-after sunny side of the street, the main living spaces extend effortlessly to a sheltered deck, in-ground swimming pool and private, low-maintenance outdoor setting. Peaceful and protected, it is an inviting place to entertain, unwind and enjoy long Auckland summers.   The generous bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, excellent natural light and quiet outlooks. Privately positioned, the main suite feels like a retreat of its own, complete with a well-appointed ensuite and a restful sense of separation. A beautifully finished family bathroom and additional facilities ensure the home works just as well during the morning rush as it does when entertaining.   Positioned at the quiet, poised end of John Street, the home is just steps from Jervois Road, with its excellent cafés, beautiful shops, some of the neighbourhood’s best dining and nearby green spaces. A sophisticated architectural home with character, privacy and space for everyone, however your family comes together.    Call for viewing times. * Boundary lines indicative only
