5A Sixth Avenue

Haven of tranquility on harbour’s edge

One of the many alluring features of Tauranga is that around any given corner, or tucked away down a discreet drive there is potential for captivating water views. This property is one of those hidden gems. Sited off a quiet inner city cul de sac, this townhouse - one of only two - is a significant find indeed. Built in the 1980s to exacting standards, this substantial two storey home is absolute waterfront with unobstructed panoramic views of the inner harbour, Matapihi peninsula and Maungatapu with the rolling hills of Welcome Bay in the near distance.

Crazy paving, tropical plantings and a tinkling water feature frame the front entrance, opening to solid oak floors, plush carpets and bright sunshine on sparkling water through over height floor to ceiling glazing. With spacious open plan living warmed by a gas fire, formal dining and a long central kitchen, easy indoor/outdoor flow to the deck and paved patio on the water's edge ensures relaxing peacefully or entertaining is a breeze. Swim, kayak, jet ski or fish right in your watery backyard! A large principle bathroom is ensuite to the adjoining bedroom, with a well appointed laundry and double garage to finish the ground floor of this tranquil and private home.

Upstairs, including a chair lift, another double sized bedroom overlooks those fabulous views, while in the master large corner windows open to an expansive harbour vista sweeping down to the iconic rail bridge, with a walk through dressing room to a hotel styled ensuite complete with large spa bath. With a dedicated office/study, plus kitchen office nook, an abundance of storage options, underfloor heating and a décor of warm muted colours, meticulous attention to detail and quality of presentation combine to form a stylish home designed and maintained with love.

This superb property is blessed with a myriad of outstanding features, not least of which is the convenient location in the early Avenues. An easy walk to the local Saturday Farmers Market, the amenities of the CBD and sport and recreation facilities of Memorial park, here is an unmissable opportunity to secure your own slice of outstanding waterfront paradise.
