Peaceful panorama, home with personality

The wide and everchanging urban, country and coastal panorama is just one of the joys of living on this acre close to and above the city. Watch the weather, enjoy the night lights over Tauranga and pop into the CBD in seven minutes. Rendered plaster over block punctuated by the timber of old railway bridge beams, creates a solid and timeless home which nestles into its gentle slope. Intensive landscaping where succulents spill over boulders enhances the profile of the house. A haha delineates one boundary; there is space below the garden for a chook run, vegetable gardens behind in the back yard where a small paddock could be enlarged by moving the fence forward. Step into an interior neutral enough to take on your personal style while exuding a strong soothing enveloping personality. Slate floors absorb and release heat throughout the kitchen, big pantry and living spaces with deep windows. Sliders link a gorgeous glass roofed sunroom with a long window seat, which opens to a wide deck overlooking rolling countryside. Durable 'rhino' carpet is soft underfoot in bedrooms. The en suite has a wonderful view to shower to and you can watch the stars through the conservatory ceiling while you soak in the big family bathroom.
There's an attached carport conveniently outside the back door and good bloke space too, with two storage/ workshop rooms off the double basement garaging. Excellent business base, consulting room or additional accommodation in the recently completed 45sqm studio with its private deck.An exceptionally appealing property with a timeless vibe. The owners, as they prepare for career challenges abroad, say this is the 'warmest and loveliest' home they have lived in.
