AUCTION BROUGHT FORWARD. If you love character, this is a must-see for you. Bordering the harbour-front reserve and enjoying peace, privacy, and tranquil views across the inner harbour to the hills beyond, this unusual and exceptional home is a true retreat from the daily grind. Lovingly refurbished, yet retaining its character, the spacious split-level layout offers versatility for accommodating extended family, frequent visitors, teen spaces or work-from-home options. The three bedrooms each boast their own bathroom: the master has a magnificent en-suite with a double shower; the second bathroom has a bath; the third bedroom with bathroom is a perfect guest suite on a different level, with its private sitting room and independent access to a covered deck. Living areas are generous, warmly embracing you with the character of timber features and the convenience of modernisation. The hub of the home is the open plan lounge, dining, and fabulous Mastercraft kitchen. A large Metro wood-burner keeps you cosy on chilly nights, while in summertime the great big deck beckons you to have a BBQ and enjoy the night lights on the hills across the harbour waters. Adjoining this family-oriented area, the separate lounge (with open fire) allows you to entertain your guests on more formal occasions. The large double garage (with workbench and storage space) has under-cover access to the front door. On this level, you'll find options galore: previously a double and a single garage, these rooms are perfect for creating a space to suit your needs. Have you always wanted to work from home, have a home-gym or media room? Or to have a space dedicated to getting the teens out of your hair? Reduce your traffic woes: this exceptionally convenient location is within walking distance of Tauranga Intermediate and Colleges, Tauranga Hospital and nearby medical facilities, shopping in Gate Pa or Fraser Cove, some great cafes, various bus routes, and harbour-front walks.
