EXCLUSIVE TAURANGA INNER CITY LIVING

Exclusive inner city living at the Phoenix has several advantages over other complexes -Quiet, peaceful views and easy water access for boating, swimming and kayaking being high on the list.

One of only three homes in the Phoenix complex, number 7A is the entire middle level - its views of Tauranga's harbour grabbing first-impression attention. From the main bedroom and living areas the outlook casts a wide sweep. Eyes quickly draw to the boats on their moorings with glistening waters dazzling all day as the sun moves. And, depending on the moon's cycle, the evening shimmer is spectacular.

The Phoenix is 13 years old - solid concrete construction and understated design giving timeless appeal. But it's the smart thinking which makes this property stand out - quite apart from the size, at around 275sqm. On top of that, number 7A has its own double garage, complete with sufficient and safe storage for all of your personal items - the choice of lift or stairwell giving easy access to this first floor home.

All floors, external walls and even some internal walls are concrete - enhancing the sound proofing quality within this home.

All three bedrooms are king size - the master suite claiming top spot overlooking the Tauranga harbour - its separate conservatory increasing space for a library, snug or office den. The guest bedroom also boasts an extensive view and also opens to another sunny conservatory off the living area on the northern side. It's a favourite spot - the casual mood providing a cosy corner for coffee, dining or simply admiring activity around the harbour.

Living space is incredibly generous - open to maximise the space and outlook - a well-appointed kitchen, inbuilt wall unit and gas fire all pleasing features. Both bathrooms are also generous, as is the laundry. The separate drying room and large storage cupboards are an absolute boon.

The shared garden is a delightful setting for outside relaxation - all of it tended by the body corp fee. A walkway off First Avenue leads down to the beach harbour and reserve below. It's a great spot to enjoy the water - park a dinghy or take a dip. Grandchildren will love it's sandy beach and safe swimming.

The other glaring benefit of this inner Tauranga position is its closeness to downtown entertainment and business. Walk to work, stroll to the shops and meander to the restaurants - everyone will enjoy the total convenience of this CBD location and all of the benefits that means for you, family and friends.

First Avenue brings with it an elegance of a certain station in life - but what makes this proposition particularly appealing is the motivation behind it coming to market. The present owners having enjoyed ten wonderful years in this location have now moved on to a retirement village and have priced this property to sell.

You only need to view this home to appreciate it's many benefits and to see what an opportunity this is to own an elite address in downtown Tauranga.
