17 Eighth Avenue, Tauranga

If you are after a central location and seek privacy and serenity this impeccable character home could be just the property you are looking for. With original native timber floorboards, leadlight and bay windows, vaulted ceilings and three fireplaces there is much to admire about this home. This quaint stucco bungalow's humble Kauri cottage origins will suit those who appreciate homes of yesteryear. Its multi-room layout is part footprint of life as it used to be, and its architect-owner's transformation in the 1920s. With four bedrooms, the home can be appreciated as is now, be given a new lease of life with further restoration, or re-purposed with options for a home office or studio space with external access. Positioned with ease of access to main arterial routes and the Tauranga CBD, it is a home that will suit those that want to be in the heart of the city, yet also those who appreciate the peace, tranquillity and privacy afforded by the property's greenspace. Sitting on a generous 951 sqm section with mature trees its garden layout meanders over the undulating site with a peep of the inner harbour to the east. The northern orientation of the home allows rooms to capture the sun and windows frame garden vistas. Two fruiting avocado trees in the lower garden are a nod to its Bay of Plenty location. A single garage, workshop and garden shed provide storage and functionality to the home while picturesque garden paths connect the house and cottage gardens. After 27 years, the current owners want this property sold, a rare opportunity to own this character home when history shows this home reluctantly changes ownership.
