The good life in Bethlehem

Cicadas and birds sing at this immaculately presented property nestled at the end of a private leafy lane. On a large 2,901sqm (more or less) flat section with lushly planted turning circle, mature avocados and a variety of fruit trees, offered here is a unique lifestyle located in the heart of sought after Bethlehem. A sprawling, solid single level plaster over brick home built to last in 2000, expansive tinted glazing frames fabulous semi rural views overlooking horse paddocks, the sparkling waters of the Wairoa river and the rolling hills of early Te Puna.

The thoughtfully designed floor plan sees an open plan kitchen and casual living with free standing gas fire, flow to a sheltered covered deck ideal for BBQs and alfresco entertaining, while bifold doors open to an extended paved patio stretching the length of the sun soaked rear of this family sized home. A second more formal lounge with dining also opens through double bifolds and shares the panoramic peaceful views. Down the hallway, three bedrooms each with voluminous double wardrobes share the principle bathroom and separate toilet, while the generous sized master has a walk in robe, ensuite and again, bifold doors to the patio and expansive views. Truly a tranquil retreat to be enjoyed at any time of the day.

With a large attached double garage, laundry and sizable hallway storage, plus a separate free standing double garage with workshop, tunnel house and dedicated vege garden with raised beds, the potential for a self sustainable style of living is a tempting prospect. Tree lined Bethlehem is an established neighbourhood favoured for its proximity to shopping centers, great schools and arterial routes for easy access to the CBD, Mount Maunganui or North towards Auckland. Move in ready for a family or those looking to downsize from a larger property, be sure to view this superb opportunity to build your future here.
