Stunning Outlook from Sunny Single Level Living....

The peace and quiet, the sun shining in from the north, the daytime vista and night lights are reasons enough to view this property. You will also discover a very user friendly home and grounds.

The 230sqm home is situated to the front of its site, maximizing the views, and wonderful also for the amount of space that spreads out behind the house. You drive onto plenty of parking outside the double garage where a big motor home fits easily onto its pad in front of the boxed vegetable gardens.

If you enjoy regular trips away you need a property that requires minimal maintenance while giving maximum pleasure while you are home. This one does just that. The solid 1980s home is in excellent condition with classic features and neutral creamy interior tones ensuring that while it may not top the trendy list, it remains tastefully timeless.

The most important rooms - the living areas and the master bedroom - all face the panorama up and across the harbour, anchored by Mauao rising in the distance. The changing tides and moods of the weather all create variety you will never tire off.

You will probably find you spend a lot of time in the 'sun room' which is forward of the dining area and kitchen. Sun pours in and a sliding door pours you out to a generous deck for entertaining, sheltered from the westerly breeze by glazing. The open plan side of the house links a huge lounge with more sliding doors to the deck. The heat pumps and efficient pallet fire will only be needed on the coldest days.

The master suite and an office (or fourth bedroom) are at one end of the home. Two more double bedrooms rooms and the big family bathroom are at the other; wide 'bowling alley' halls - with plenty of storage of course - move you smoothly through. This is an ideal layout for a family affording parents some privacy in their sunny corner. An active retired couple will appreciate the space and the layout for their own day to day living and for hosting family visits (when three 'loos' prove handy).

Easy access to the waterfront and the many local recreational opportunities mean there is always plenty to do. Maungatapu shopping centre and primary school are just down the street, and Tauranga's central city and Mount Maunganui handy. The sense of community here has increased in the years since the road became a suburban street rather than a main thoroughfare. These owners have appreciated their friendly caring neighbours.

This property proves yet again that the Maungatapu ridge remains one of Tauranga's yet to be fully appreciated gems where north facing homes with fantastic views are still relatively affordable. That this is a property seriously for sale and priced accordingly only adds to its many attractions.
