Daylight and easy indoor-outdoor flow shape the rhythm of this three-bedroom Welcome Bay home, where a 170m² floor plan sits across a 554m² section. Generous glazing and deck connections give the home an open, relaxed feel, with spaces that hold both family time and quieter moments with ease.

The kitchen, dining and lounge connect with very little fuss, allowing conversation to move naturally through the shared areas. Windows and sliders invite daylight in from different directions, lending the interior a bright, lived-in warmth, while carpet underfoot keeps the main living zone comfortable. A wifi compatible heat pump in the living and dining area adds year-round practicality, and the easy flow out to the elevated deck extends everyday living beyond the walls and towards the undulating hills. The kitchen is fresh, modern and high-end with granite benchtops and plenty of storage.

All three bedrooms are carpeted and naturally lit, creating calm places to retreat at the end of the day. The bathroom includes both a separate shower and bathtub, while two separate toilets and a separate laundry add another practical layer to the home and keeps everyday routines neatly organised.

Outside, the generous rear deck becomes the natural entertaining space, with room for long lunches, drinks and conversation as afternoons unfold. Lawn and established greenery soften the section and leave room to for the family to enjoy the outdoors, while two off-street carparks sit alongside a generous double garage (think workshop) for vehicles, storage and weekend gear.

Set on Thornlea Drive, the home meets Healthy Homes legislation and is well placed for local walking options through Johnson Reserve and Waipuna Park. Welcome Bay School is in the neighbourhood and it's zoned for Tauranga Intermediate, Girls' and Boys' Colleges.

For buyers wanting generous living, outdoor connection and everyday practicality, this is well worth seeing in person. Contact Nigel or Rachel to arrange your viewing.
