Old Charm Modern Touch
On your first visit it would be an idea to park your car and walk the short driveway that leads to this charming four bedroom home. You'll quietly come upon white picket fencing, spacious lawns and a beautifully presented colonial styled home. You would be forgiven for thinking you had walked back in time where homes like this were built by hand and found only in the country. But no, this home was constructed in the late 1990s, and is only ten minutes from the Tauranga CBD.

Built conscientiously to replicate a near century old home, it comes with modern features and authentic detail. The interior, heated by gas, is framed with dado railing, villa styled architraves and high stud ceilings. The rustic styled kitchen, with its magnificent cooking range, is fit for hearty family meals. Entertain guests in the large open plan lounge and dinning areas or relax in the newly carpeted family room.

Through the arched hallway are the bedrooms, separate toilet and a modern bathroom with floor to ceiling tiling and claw-footed bath. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, a wood burner for cosy winter nights and will surprise with its contemporary but unique ensuite. The crafted wooden staircase leads to a fourth bedroom or office with storage space and guest toilet.

During summer evenings let the breeze flow through one of six French doors while the sun sneaks radiant colours through stained window panels. On the BBQ deck you'll have all day sun and full view of the cricket or rugby pitch. There's no shortage of grass on this approximately 4009-sqm section. With room for the boat or caravan plus four car garaging and granny flat above, there would be nothing to improve here.

So, are you ready to make that first visit?
