Generous Family home on "Best Street"....

Relaxing in the shady garden is one of many pleasures of this secluded family property with privacy and outlook.

The home, built in the 1960s, may have been one of the original dwellings in what is now among Tauranga's most desirable streets. That it has an interesting individual look is partly due to the foliage fringed profile visible from the street and to the addition of an elevated extra living room with huge sloping conservatory windows.

This room adds just the extra space you need in a roomy four bedroom home. It can be living space, kids rumpus area or extra accommodation when you need it, especially with the new bathroom just below. The private deck with views to Mauao and the sea might even encourage you to commandeer it as the master suite. You could have your own private living space up here as well. The bamboo used in its beautiful bookcases and shelving is repeated in built-in furniture in the conversion of the fourth bedroom to office.

Other features that add modernity to a solid original home are the square glass panels in the timber front door, the addition of two sets of bi-fold doors to the deck from living areas, the stylish bathrooms and plain wall coverings. The approach is nicely old fashioned, through an ivy clad pathway along the double garage and across decks enfolded in greenery.

The fourth bedroom's situation just inside the front door means it does lend itself well to an office. A T-shaped hall leads to three more bedrooms. The main one faces the private side of the garden with the family bathroom next door.

Lower living fronts deck shaded by a huge silver birch. You can relax outside overlooking the garden and catching an outlook to the harbour. The lounge has a large opening linking it to the dining/family area with kitchen tucked discretely behind. The gas fireplace, another newer addition, is centrally placed to heat the entire space. The modern kitchen manages to remain part of your living but apart as well. Windows above the sink overlook the front walkway so you can see who is arriving, yet it is completely concealed from the street. A high bench overlooks the family and dining area.

There's an established feel to this property with a sense of mystery created by the way the 1012m2 garden camouflages the house. The home looks well connected to its grounds and in terms of usage definitely is. Children can safely play in the fenced garden. There is enough gardening if you enjoy it but nothing to become a burden.

You will also appreciate the way Kings Avenue still preserves a sense of peace and privilege despite being not far from the busy city centre. This property makes living in a prime Matua street very accessible.
