1 Fourteenth Avenue, Avenues, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

On the edge of the inner harbour, this rare real estate gem is absolute waterfront with riparian rights and spectacular unobstructed views that will enchant and enthrall every day. In a peaceful location in the heart of the central Avenues the tranquility of the scene is picture postcard worthy, while the gentle lap of the tides will lull you to sleep at night. This charming harbourside home has been featured in several magazine editorials and Tauranga’s Garden & Arts festival over the years.

Built in 1955, this home was completely transformed in 2016 with an architectural renovation that included a new roof, double glazing, re-wiring and new plumbing, full insulation, plus extensive strengthening of the sea wall. Original timber floors feature throughout the sleek black kitchen with long central island, and spacious living opening through stacker sliders to a wide wrap around deck for seamless indoor/outdoor flow and effortless entertaining. Three large bedrooms share the family bathroom with separate toilet, while the stylish master with ensuite and walk in robe opens outside and enjoys fabulous views over beautiful gardens formally planted, and on to the water.

Bathed in sunlight and designed for family and entertaining, this much loved home is warm and inviting with an easy ambiance and peaceful serenity away from the hustle of daily life. Just some of the many superlatives of this home are the fabulous avenue of cherry trees at the front entrance; waterfront brick paved patio for harbour side alfresco dining; unique ornate cupola topped gazebo; separate heritage studio space perfect for a home office; plumbed clawfoot bath on the deck for truly special outdoor bathing for children or romance; and a lushly carpeted attic rumpus.

With a double garage and off street parking this outstanding home is ideal for lifestyle living. Positioned as it is by the water, holiday every day and fish from the front lawn, swim, kayak or put out a flounder net if the mood takes you. In a premium central Avenues location close to amenities, public transport, excellent schooling of all levels, with easy access to the CBD and arterial routes, listen to your heart and live the life you deserve.
