15 Fantail Drive, Maungatapu, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

The light that dances over the ever-changing bay below and the light that floods the open plan living from great expanses of glazing enhance life in this generous home built for sun and views.

Built to maximise the solidly retained slope the lower floor is occupied by double garaging which also incorporates ample storage and workshop space. Off the foyer below also find spacious studio style accommodation with bathroom. Stairs ascend the atrium to an expanse of high stud (three metres) open plan living with a wide sky-lit galley kitchen opening direct to the rear patio, as does the dining area, so the flow is perfect for entertaining and those summer evening barbeques. The lounge area gets the full impact of the views as does the master suite with which it shares a balcony. Add two more upper level bedrooms, an office and the third bathroom and you have the ideal family home with flexibility provided by the studio below. While it seems hardly needed, there is under floor heating everywhere except the garage.

The home occupies a large (1,595 sqm more or less) well-planted, easy-care corner site where you look over the reserve to the Welcome Bay water and beyond. The locale is delightfully ‘under the radar’ yet conveniently close to the central city and you enjoy a rare combination of seclusion at home while exposed to a wide and varying outlook.

For the last 20 years this property has served a family who have loved growing up here but now flown the nest. The owners will miss waking to the sun over water, their light, bright, airy living, access to waterfront walks from the reserve opposite and the city proximity.
