Superbly presented family homes on extra-large sections in the heart of the central Avenues are a rare find, especially one as lovingly maintained as this 1940s character home. Renovated and extended in 1989, it has been thoughtfully and tastefully updated over the years while retaining its original character and charm. Nestled amongst established manicured gardens with scenic urban and water views in a quiet location yet in the heart of the ‘golden triangle’, this is indeed a home for all seasons.
A rather grand front entrance opens to high ceilings, rimu floors, joinery with stunning leadlight details and custom fireplace and mantle made by a prominent craftsman joiner, enhanced by contemporary touches like a stylish streamlined kitchen with oodles of bench space, updated bathrooms and multiple living spaces which flow effortlessly outdoors to a large deck, in ground pool and sheltered yard with plenty of space for children and pets to play. With a cosy formal lounge and sundrenched ‘Winter’ lounge, entertaining family and friends will be a delight at any time of the year.
An office or fifth bedroom, three large bedrooms and a master with private deck, harbour views and ensuite ensures there is an abundance of space for everyone, with extensive storage to match throughout this substantial family sized home. Downstairs the spacious rumpus is sure to please, while three car garaging houses cars, toys and a workshop.
Briarley Street is considered one of Tauranga’s most coveted Avenues locations – for cul de sac privacy combined with close proximity to the CBD, iconic Memorial Park, the waterfront and easy access to all levels of schooling. An exceptional property offering a tranquil oasis sequestered away from the hustle of daily life, this very special home is warm, inviting and looking for a family who will love it as much as the current family have.
