Contemporary Tone Enhances Traditional Family Property
The large secluded site, the spacious comfortable interior, fantastic outdoor living, and a heated swimming pool - this Matua property embraces its traditional values and its enhancement for contemporary life.
The substantially upgraded 1970s brick home occupies a private 1,368sqm rear section on the slight elevation of Tilby Drive, affording northerly views up the Tauranga Harbour to the distant outline of the Coromandel and the Kaimai Ranges. The dwelling appreciates its aspect with all the living and two of the three bedrooms facing the views, all with sliding doors outside to a deck that spans its frontage. Recent additions include a terrace which doubles already expansive outdoor living and a beautiful pool set so neatly into landscaping that it needs minimal glass fencing for safety. You can step out of the main bedroom and one of the others and straight into the pool. Its position is ideal for entertaining while you keep an eye on kids splashing happily.
The home's interior retains classic 1970s features like a stone surround fireplace (now a gas fire); pelmets which overlap the drapes and give a clean line to windows, nice decorative cornices and in the main bedroom subtly patterned wallpaper in excellent condition and on its way back into fashion.
White paint adds lightness, brightness and continuity. Kitchen and bathrooms are crisp and modern.
Living exudes an open plan atmosphere but gives you separate places for family relaxation and entertaining different generations. Dining is beside the huge lounge but not part of it. A conservatory style second living room in front of the dining opens on two sides to the deck. The office sits unobtrusively behind the dining room - with one fully glazed wall and its own external door - great if you work from home.
The kitchen is big and friendly, and highly workable with a great expanse of bench lining walls and miles of storage in a variety of drawers, cupboards, cubby holes, shelves for cookbooks and glass cabinets for display. It suddenly seems a very good idea to keep the kitchen separate but right by your dining room!
It also seems a very good idea to have, not an en suite, but two bathrooms side by side so handy to all bedrooms. One is a compact shower and toilet, the other a family proportioned bathroom which adds a bath to the mix.
The section is landscaped for easy care with plenty of lawn for play. You live just up the street from Matua's Fergusson Park and the harbour for water sports and recreation. You can wander or bike to the city along the harbour foreshore or enjoy the network of local paths.
This is an appealing generous, relaxingly and welcoming property that emphasizes how right some of the earlier architecture was, how good it is to have room to spread out, and how generously it adapts to today's family life. Matua magic indeed!

Chris Royal
Realty Services Ltd
Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (REAA 2008), Member of the REINZ
Those who know Chris know he's no stranger to hard work. Starting his real estate career in the tough market of 2003, Chris was Eves Realty Limited Rookie of the Year in 2004/2005 and since then Chris has cemented his place in the industry and gained the reputation of being one of Tauranga's most successful and customer focused agents by maintaining his position in the top 2 salespeople within Eves Realty Limited every year since (approximately 200 Salespeople). Apart from relinquishing the title briefly in 2010, Chris has consistently been the Eves Top Auction Marketer and ASB Auction Cup Winner every year since 2007.
However, it's not the awards or the recognition that drive Chris to excel in real estate. It is the passion he has for the industry and the people he meets along the way. Most importantly, it is his fundamental belief that it is extremely important to "Do what you say you are going to do." Put simply, to Chris the words honestly, integrity and results underpin the way in which he conducts himself, his business and his relationships with his clients which is one of the very reasons why so many people hire him to sell their property.
Chris has a wealth of knowledge and experience and he's well known for his friendly, no nonsense and straight forward approach.
In his own words Chris says "When so much can be at stake for my clients, I feel it's my responsibility to tell them what they need to hear to put them in the best position to make informed decisions, which is sometimes not what they may want to hear."
Coupled with proven strategies and a game plan that best fit their needs plus the grit and determination to succeed when the going gets tough means he's able to coach them though the journey that will enable them to achieve their goals. His approach has earned a great deal of respect from Solicitors, Lending Institutions, Registered Valuers and other industry professionals and is clearly why so many people refer business and come back to him again and again year after year.
That means you can rely on Chris to do the right thing by you putting you in the best position to make well informed and timely decisions so that you can achieve what the sale of your property will allow you to achieve.
