Retreat with income and views

Centered in the beating heart of the highly sought after Avenues, this immaculately presented property is a family sized home with income nestled amongst established gardens, with glorious water views of the Waikareao Estuary and Mt Maunganui.

Light and bright, this deceptively spacious Hinuera stone and plaster two storey home has retained its late 80s retro vibe, with authentic cork floors, modernist rimu balustrade and feature stained glass window, while being tastefully renovated and gently upgraded. A classic example of quality building, this home is somewhere extra special to live. A compact yet eminently practical kitchen with walk in scullery shares open plan living with built in cabinetry, acoustic ceiling and feature lighting, opening via timber framed sliders to a covered verandah with those spectacular water views. It's a fabulous area to relax and unwind or to entertain guests at any time. Live the dream as you while away a quiet weekend watching the archery enthusiasts on the green below as the tides ebb and flow.

Branching off the entrance foyer is a family sized bathroom and large bedroom with walk in wardrobe and slider opening to a cloistered garden space. Past the staircase, a sleek laundry and storage room, is a purpose built self-contained studio flat with kitchenette, wet bathroom and sliders opening to a covered deck and the lush garden. A lovely private area, this could be ideal for an older teen seeking some independence, extended family or a source of additional income. Take the stairs to two more spacious bedrooms bathed in sunshine, fabulous views, a bathroom each and a mezzanine office space with additional storage.

And then the location. With the amenities of the local shopping precinct on the doorstep, easy access to excellent schools, cafes, sporting facilities, public transport and the CBD...leave the car in the garage and enjoy the luxury of living in this exclusive location central to everything.
