If location is a priority and you are seeking a spacious family home with scope to make it your own, and loads of that rare vehicle space, this Harvey Street property is a must view.

Completed in 1981 in what has become one of Tauranga’s most desirable Avenues streets, this solid brick home occupies a very gently sloping site affording it a just enough surrounding garden and outdoor living. The property has elevation for sunshine, water peeps and a green urban outlook. Plus, as well as a large double garage and a carport, has onsite parking for all extra family or visitor vehicles, boat, camper….

Enter the foyer mid-level. Take a short flight of stairs up to the main living areas, or one down to garaging and a surprising amount of versatile space on the ground floor. The upper level spans a tidy well-equipped kitchen with servery to the large dining room, then cavity sliding doors to the spacious lounge. The surrounding, mainly covered, deck extends to the master suite and provides outdoor escapes in all weathers. A second large bedroom, family bathroom and separate toilet along the west side with steps linking the laundry to the garden below.

Head downstairs and, as well as an oversized double garage with workshop bench, discover basement style office and storage behind a massive rumpus room/ lounge plus a double bedroom and bathroom. The private patio off this area adds to its appeal as the perfect party place, a great teenagers’ haven, and with a little tweaking, it could be self-contained for extended family or Air BnB.

Originally architecturally designed (plans are available) this home exudes a gracious atmosphere with its timber ceilings and generous spaces. While in excellent condition and comfortably liveable now it would respond well to an interior décor update without the need for structural changes. Double glazing has already been installed

With the CBD handy, excellent schooling in the vicinity and proximity to the waterfront, this must be the ideal intergenerational home in the ideal location.
