114 Grace Road, Avenues, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Behind the solid brick fence, beneath the grand finery of towering established trees, this architecturally designed home is a sanctuary of calm in the coveted central Avenues. With panoramic views over lush greenery to the calm tides of the inner harbour against the backdrop of Matapihi Peninsula, Maungatapu and Welcome Bay hills, this 1970s era home on a rare 1,012sqm (more or less) section, has singular character and charm. Constructed with rough cast plaster over brick, white painted exposed beams, terracotta tiles and multiple sets of French doors for seamless indoor/outdoor flow, there is an appealing Tuscan vibe to this surprisingly substantial home stylishly updated for modern living.

The kitchen is the hub of this home, extending through sliding windows to serve the built in BBQ and rustic chandelier lit alfresco living and dining poolside, while enjoying the fabulous view. Spread out and relax, entertain and enjoy generous living warmed by a gas fire with unique curved ‘mantle’, formal dining and adjacent casual living. Two bedrooms share a bathroom with separate toilet; downstairs another bedroom, bathroom and spacious living/rumpus open to a private spa area, while access the master suite via sky lit stairs for scenic views, walk in robe and ensuite.
