This curvaceously authentic 1946 built Art Deco home is optimally elevated and nestles in one of Tauranga’s most prestigious neighbourhoods. Retaining the distinctive elements typical of the era, the stucco clad two storey home has the bonus of a rear sited garden house. Recently upgraded to keep abreast of modern needs, buyers will jump at chance to live close to schools, shops, and leisure amenities – many within walking distance – as would professional couples who appreciate enduring character and a short commute to work in the nearby CBD.
A well configured floor plan incorporates some original native timber floors anchoring a neutral toned interior. The elegant sitting room is warm in winter with wood burner fireplace and passive solar from a sunny aspect. In summer the French doors can be pinned back to allow flow for guest entertainment on the large, enclosed balcony. The dining area and kitchen have ample glazed joinery for a spatially generous ambiance with the chef’s HQ recently renovated to include attractive timber counters and stainless-steel cooker beneath white tiled walls. Of the three carpeted bedrooms, two are doubles and the third single offering options as child’s bedroom or an office. The contemporary bathroom is well designed to cater for a busy household with bathtub, vanity, toilet and extensive tiling extending to the shower cubicle. The laundry sits tucked behind bifolds and opposite an exit to the clothesline. An intimate rear courtyard of decks and patios surrounds the compatible weatherboard garden house with French doors – an adaptable addition that has a built-in sauna and scope to run a business from home.
The colossal workshop within the tandem garaging will light up the eyes of any keen hobbyist who wants to tackle their activities in peace, along with ample storage for all the items they may find a purpose for one day. Loads of off-street parking for visitors on the freehold 433 sqm (approx.) section.
