10 Heron Crescent, Katikati, Western Bay Of Plenty, Bay Of Plenty

Tucked into a leafy crescent just a short stroll from town, this one of kind 1970's home is a gentle invitation to slow down. At 130m² on a generous 730m² section, it suits families craving breathing space, retirees with a penchant for planting, or anyone dreaming of a unique home with long-term appeal.

Inside, the living quarters lean into comfort. Carpet underfoot and a wood-burning stove anchor the family room, creating a setting that works just as well for winter evenings as it does for summer afternoons with the doors flung wide to the garden. The galley style kitchen is well-appointed, finished with timber benchtops that nod to the home’s earthy character, while remaining practical for everyday cooking. Off to the side, the partially enclosed dining zone forms its own cosy nook, intimate enough for shared meals, yet still connected to the rhythm of the main living area.

Three well-proportioned bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned for privacy. Two spill directly outdoors through glass doors, making morning light and garden access part of daily life. The tiled bathroom is clean, functional and supported by a handy additional WC to keep family routines running smoothly.

Outside, a pergola-covered patio overlooks a layered garden of mature dogwood, green apple trees, roses, frangipani and sprawling monstera. It’s fully enclosed, with an arched gate leading back to the driveway, giving kids and pets free rein while you relax into the setting. Outdoor seating zones make it easy to linger in the greenery.

Known for its heritage, murals, sunshine and orchard culture, Katikati is a town that values time well spent. Schools, local amenities and State Highway 2 are all within easy reach, with Tauranga close enough when needed.
