A private retreat in the city

This irresistible mid-century modern home nestled in parklike private grounds offers an opportunity to forge memories of a lifetime. The 1960s weatherboard west facing dwelling looks out on its own tranquil domain and yet surprisingly, you're handy to the busy Gate Pa shopping precinct. With immense appeal for a growing family and presenting with potential to expand along with your family, this child-friendly property is a rare find situated so close to schools and the metropolitan centre.

The single level home has a versatile interior layout with the sense of space enhanced by neutral decor and copious natural light. A separate lounge retains the original native timber flooring with centrepiece log burner fireplace providing a cosy focus. French doors open out onto an extensive covered west facing deck where drinks and dinner can be enjoyed all year round while steps access lawns incorporating cute Wendy house, safe play spaces, and entree to meandering valley paths encouraging adventurous kids to explore. This lovely garden outlook can be appreciated from nearly every window. A smart little galley kitchen integrating super sunny dining nook has plenty of cabinetry and laminate countertops while the modern bathroom and separate toilet serve all three carpeted bedrooms and a bonus hall study nook.

Workshop space in incorporated into the freestanding king single garage and there's ample off-street parking on a fenced section that backs onto Kopurererua Valley, with access to the nearby ponds, walking and cycling tracks. This generous 1586 sqm (approx.) site contains fruit trees, lush gardens, native ferns, tropical foliage, and mature trees, including a Japanese maple tree offering natural shade, over the children's playground with a swing and wooden platform. A bus stop is a few steps away, and the city centre a short commute as is Tauriko's Tauranga Crossing, while Tauranga Hospital and 56-acre Cambridge Park are also nearby. Walking distance to Pukehinaina Historic reserve and the Historic Village where the cultural events, markets and festivals frequently take place.
