39B Harvey Street, Avenues, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

In the heart of the sought after central Avenues and a stone’s throw from St Mary’s School and the inner harbour, this low maintenance two storey home has a particular charm. With a grand covered entrance framing curved terracotta steps, oversized double front doors opening to a soaring atrium complete with wrought iron chandelier, undeniably the vibe feels warm, inviting and Mediterranean.

Decorative balustrades trim stairs leading up to light bright and spacious living, a stylish curved kitchen with an abundance of bench space being the heart of this home, and double French doors opening to the deck. Fabulous water view across the inner harbour to Matapihi peninsula and Maungatapu are the panoramic backdrop to effortless entertaining and alfresco dining at any time of the year. The master suite is roomy and comfortable with a walk in robe and large tiled ensuite complete with spa bath, while down a separate hallway is a powder room and single bedroom with built in desk and storage. Extensive storage options are most definitely a feature throughout this family sized home.

On the ground floor, follow the curved wall along to a separate laundry, the principle bathroom and two large bedrooms one of which has ensuite access to the bathroom. Take a couple of steps down to the double garage with a long workbench, huge under stair storage, an office with outside access and a self contained kitchenette. A bonus separate small room could be another office, more storage or easily reimagined as a wine cellar! While neat, tidy and move in ready, those with an eye for design could enhance the many features of this home to add value and maximize the opportunity this property presents.

An easy walk to excellent schools, the leisure facilities of Memorial Park, local shopping and all the amenities of the CBD, leave the car at home and let traffic jams be a distant memory. If you’re looking for an urban lifestyle nestled away from the hustle and bustle in a highly desirable neighbourhood, this unique property is a great choice for a family, those looking to downsize, or astute buyers looking for their next investment.
