25 Turret Road, Avenues, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

A prime example of quality building from the late 1960s, this mostly single level home has a warm and inviting ambiance flavoured with a large dose of retro charm. Sited in the cul de sac of a street lined with magnificent pohutukawas, across from the waters’ edge of the inner harbour in the sought after and private Central Avenues cul-de-sac. Sit and watch the ebbs and flows of the inner harbour or stroll over and launch your paddle board or kayak – the calm mesmerizing waters are mere metres away!

Large picture windows frame the panoramic and ever changing view from spacious open plan dining and living made cosy with a wood burner, while that same view could surely be a distraction when creating culinary magic in the adjoining rather striking kitchen with an abundance of storage and bench space. Enjoy chatting to guests at the breakfast bar or relaxing in the casual living area, or maximize the indoor/outdoor flow and entertain alfresco all year ‘round in the sun soaked courtyard framed by stylish Corten steel and solid block.

From the central hall, two bedrooms, an unmistakably groovy family bathroom, separate toilet and well-appointed laundry lead to a double garage from which a sky lit sunroom could be a fourth bedroom or fabulously sunny office. Having access to the fenced back yard with large garden shed is a definite bonus. A snug library leads upstairs to an outstanding room with deck and stunning views absolutely deserving of the master suite with generous walk in robe and stylish ensuite. Take note of the toilet roll holder: unique and quirky design details are wonderful surprises throughout this attractive home, gently modernised and presented with creative flair.

With off street parking, established low maintenance gardens and a flat easy care site in a prime, private location in the central Avenues close to amenities, excellent schools of all levels, the CBD and arterial routes: this home is a compelling proposition and a must see for discerning buyers.
