10 Patiki Place, Omaha, Auckland

This Omaha bach gives you both sides of the good life - a proper permanent home or an easy-care bach you can lock up and leave. Arrive, shut the laptop, grab the board under arm and hit the surf.Designed around how we actually want to live - with an upstairs adults sanctuary: a generous master with walk-in robe, ensuite and study nook, opening onto a huge lounge. Retreat up here while the rest of the house stays lively downstairs.Ground-floor living is essential in Omaha, and this fully fenced section delivers it. Pets, kids and grandchildren can roam safely with no main road to cross to the beach. A central courtyard with BBQ extends the kitchen and makes summer entertaining effortless: cook while youre still with your guests - beer in one hand - BBQ tongs in the other. The kitchen is open-plan, yet tucked away enough that the dishes can wait.Three good-sized bedrooms share a family bathroom, with a powder room thoughtfully placed beside the media room. In summer the outdoor shower becomes the unofficial third bathroom - the kids rinse the sand off, then head inside.A single internal access garage plus plenty of off-street and boat parking (driving in Patiki and unofficially out via Mangatawhiri) all - right opposite the beach access. Turn left for the golf course, right for the sand. It doesn’t get simpler than that.4 bedrooms | 2.5 bathrooms | 3 living areas including media roomIndoor-outdoor flow to a fully fenced yardThis is the Omaha decision made easy - lock up and leave, or stay and love it.
