102 Harbour Drive, Otumoetai, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

One of the last good old fashioned beach house lifestyle properties that once proliferated this prestigious shoreline, this 1950s built home in Pillans Point School zone has been in the same family for over 60 cherished years. Clearly the neighbouring properties are an indication of the possibilities here with the 822 sqm (approx.) section presenting an opportunity to build your dream home on a flat, easily accessed site. Moreover, there's ample scope to explore renovation options of the existing weatherboard dwelling - to expand up and out into a more substantial family home.

Well maintained and still displaying the authentic rimu timber detailing of the era, the north facing 132 (approx.) sqm three bedroom house captures sensational panoramas across the water to the Mount and Port of Tauranga. With a warm and comfortable ambiance, the main living room is complete with heat pump and log burner. The adjacent sunroom and dining area have timber flooring, and both bask in virtually all day sun. The open plan kitchen has been modernised and boasts ample cabinetry, gas hob, and a stainless steel wall oven. Continuous gas hot water also feeds both updated bathrooms - one combined with the laundry. The generously proportioned double bedrooms include master with ceiling fan and another heat pump. Storage is abundant while the back yard features a colossal freestanding garage/boat shed with room for four vehicles. Additionally, the petite art studio/hobby cabin and a smaller tool shed provide more outdoor storage options.

Lawns, mature trees and tropical palms provide sheltered places to savour the alfresco lifestyle with lots of space for the kids to scamper safely. Situated opposite the boat ramp for launching the sailing dinghy, kayaks, and jet ski, while the nearby nine hole golf course is perfect for more land based leisure pursuits. Handy to shops, transport and top schools, this prime location close to the city offers multiple choices and all the right answers.
