47 Kotiate Street, Papamoa, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Washed with natural light, this family home has an easy, unhurried feel, with a spacious layout where mornings pass unnoticed. Across 153m² on a 352m² section with room for the boat, caravan or camper, the low-maintenance setup creates a relaxed base for everyday family life.

The sweeping open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone is at the heart of the home, with broad double-glazed openings drawing daylight deep into the interiors. Carpet adds a layer of snugness to the lounge and dining areas, while a heat pump promises warmth throughout the changing seasons. The kitchen sits naturally within the space, finished with a charming island counter that doubles as a breakfast bar and serving station, making it equally useful for everyday cooking or entertaining.

All three bedrooms are carpeted and bright, with the main bedroom opening directly outdoors for an added sense of connection and ease. An additional space provides useful storage, while two bathrooms support busy mornings and overnight guests without fuss. Soothing finishes throughout keep the private spaces calm and easy to personalise.

Sliding doors carry the dining area straight onto the concrete patio, turning the outdoors into a natural extension of the open-plan hub. It is an easy spot for summer meals, an impromptu cocktail or a quiet afternoon in the sun, with the fenced section currently a blank canvas and the perfect size to keep maintenance manageable.

A single garage provides secure parking and useful extra storage, with additional off-street parking available on the driveway and there's room for a further 2 more cars, a boat, camper or caravan to the side.

Set down a private driveway, it's well placed for Golden Sands School, Suzanne Aubert and the cafés, cinema and everyday services at both the Excelsa Centre and The Sands town centre. The beach is nearby and wider connections are within easy reach via the new on/off ramp at the Papamoa East interchange.
