Classic, timeless, sunny and secluded, this property is perfectly set up for a relaxed lifestyle with options for creativity, business or additional accommodation plus a shed for extra vehicles or your boat.

Admire evidence of the quality of the landscaping as you drive between clipped hedges, passing the near new shed tucked in one corner, and the 50 sqm (more or less) studio that echoes the style of the home. With a roundabout outside the front door and more sealed space outside the double garage there’s plenty of parking.

The home has been built to maximise exposure to the northerly aspect and sunshine. This also affords a delightful green view down the swathe of front lawn and established easy care garden beds.

The open plan living, separate lounge and master suite are layered to share the sun. A rain sensitive Louvretec topped patio links the two living areas with French doors out from each. The kitchen, dining and family area is tiled in rich terracotta. The thick wool carpet throughout the rest of the home was recently laid. Family bedrooms occupy their own wing and the fourth bedroom, ideal as office if you need one, in off the generous entry foyer.

This is a home environment that exudes an air of relaxed good taste, where a couple can live happily, ready to welcome grandchildren and guests, or a family find a laid back lifestyle with plenty of space for play and room to put in a pool if they desire.

The beautifully appointed studio has long been the base for an interior design business and could work equally as professional premises, creative studio or BnB.

The setting of the property enhances the atmosphere of peace and privacy, while you reap the benefits of a location almost equidistant between Bethlehem and Tauranga Crossing shopping centres, with easy access to the CBD and options for education.
