Loved, cherished and beautifully cared for by the same owner for the past 25 years, this is a home with a story to tell. It has watched children grow, welcomed grandchildren into the family and played host to countless celebrations, Sunday lunches and everyday moments that become treasured memories. Now, for the first time in a quarter of a century, it is ready for a new family to begin their own chapter.
Beautifully established lawns and gardens set the scene as you arrive, with striking Japanese maples framing the entrance and giving you a taste of just how lovingly this property has been maintained. There is plenty of room in the driveway for your car, Nana's car and the cousins' too, while the rare triple internal access garage takes care of the rest.
Through the front door, a grand entrance and high ceilings immediately create a sense of space. Natural light streams into the generous main living area, a room made for bringing people together. Whether it is the whole family gathered for Christmas, friends dropping by for a drink or simply settling in at the end of the day, there is room for everyone. Large windows draw your eye out to the backyard and across the leafy Bethlehem neighbourhood, with stunning views stretching towards Mount Maunganui.
From here, life naturally moves into the light-filled kitchen, where generous bench space and an abundance of cabinetry make busy family living easy. The window above the bench looks out to the backyard, so you can keep an eye on the kids while dinner is underway.
Tucked alongside is the casual dining area, full of character and perfectly positioned for meals around the table, while the second living space gives the household somewhere else to retreat. Morning coffees, casual catch-ups, movie nights or a little breathing room when the house is full - this is a layout that understands family life.
Four bedrooms provide space to grow, with the master offering its own retreat complete with a generous walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. The remaining three bedrooms each feature built-in wardrobes and are serviced by a cleverly designed family bathroom. With the shower, toilet, and bath and vanity separated into individual spaces, the morning rush and bedtime routine become that little bit easier - particularly when there is a full house.
As you make your way through, another thing becomes clear: storage is everywhere. Then you reach the carpeted garage, and the practicality continues. The laundry sits conveniently to one side, while the huge triple-car space offers room for vehicles, hobbies, projects and everything families seem to accumulate along the way. Better still, the vendors are leaving the large storage cupboard and workbench ready for the next owner to enjoy.
Outside, the spacious fully fenced backyard is waiting for kids, pets, nieces, nephews and the whole gang. There is room to play, room to entertain and room to create the kind of memories this home has been filled with for the past 25 years.
Set in an established Bethlehem neighbourhood, close to Bethlehem Shopping Centre, parks, walkways and cycle tracks, and in zone for quality schools, the location makes everyday life easy. Bethlehem College is within walking distance, with a handy alleyway just a couple of doors down providing a convenient shortcut. More than just four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a triple garage, this is a much-loved family home, ready for its next chapter and a new family to love it all over again.
