107 Fourth Avenue

Character, charm and unrivalled views

Homes with history and character are something of a rarity in Tauranga, enhancing the appeal of this exclusive opportunity to own this lovingly maintained red brick beauty. Sited on a high point in the early Avenues, the outstanding view over Waikaereo estuary towards Mount Maunganui and the harbour entrance is unobstructed and truly magnificent, while the North facing aspect ensures this home luxuriates in all day sunshine.

A classic example of quality building from the 1950s era, this home is solid and substantial with undoubted potential to be somewhere extra special to live. High ceilings with plaster scotia, curved walls, pelmets, original timber floors, interior joinery and built in cabinetry combine effortlessly with sympathetic contemporary touches like a stylish streamlined kitchen, updated bathrooms, laundry and generous living spaces. The spectacular glass loggia stretching the width of the house expands the living and is a fabulous area to relax and unwind, or to entertain family and friends all year 'round while taking in the panoramic view and private garden.

Upstairs, the spacious master with walk in robe and semi ensuite is bathed in sun, as are the two double bedrooms all of which open to a wide concrete deck and the breathtaking view. A fourth single sized bedroom and cleverly configured family bathroom complete this floor. A surprise bonus area is the basement rumpus/second living with a versatile room (currently utilised as a fifth bedroom) nestled into what once may have been a very large safe - the solid metal door is both heavy and authentic!

Located in a quiet cul de sac in the sought after early Avenues, with established trees, ample off-street parking and a double garage/ workshop with benches, storage and space to create, enjoy the convenience of proximity to cafes, restaurants and inner city amenities. You'll also find nearby parks, sporting facilities, scenic walking and cycling tracks, plus every Saturday the iconic farmers Market at the local school offers an abundance of fresh produce to enjoy over the weekend. Warm and inviting, this unique and special property is essential viewing for those who appreciate the timeless style of days gone by.
