Proximity to Tauranga enhances the appeal of this beautiful country retreat with its expansive home. This exceptional example of 1980s residential architecture has profile and proportion worthy of the park-like grounds it graces, facing north over the tennis court and framed by mature trees. Those who appreciate this solid enduring style of architecture will be impressed to see it displayed faithfully in the extensive use of rimu in floors, ceilings, the solid window joinery which was a signature of the style, cabinetry including the kitchen so well designed it has exceeded the test of time. The pitch of the roof suggests interesting ceiling lines, these creating the range of lofty heights over large spaces and lower for the intimate environments which increase your choices for places to relax and entertain. French doors deliver you to a covered outdoor area with a pizza oven, or let you drift out to paved patios overlooking the garden. There is a self-contained accommodation wing on the ground floor, and a striking new bathroom, while upstairs bedrooms see the haven like master suite serenely separated from family bedrooms. The main home also sports a huge rumpus room above the double garage. Outbuildings span a large implement shed with ample extra storage, almost adjoining a dwelling of two enormous rooms which could add to accommodation options or become a home business base. At the bottom of the garden there is yet another shed with three open bays.\nThe private hedged grounds, accessed up an avenue, are well established for easy care, planted to give pleasure whatever the season with paths under shady trees and a fenced and landscaped heated salt water pool complex with its own changing shed. Home is the country community of Omanawa where the local hall is the focus of regular gatherings which foster a sense of belonging. The city is continually moving closer so you no longer live far from urban amenities. The recent opening of the Tauranga Crossing at The Lakes puts the nearest shopping centre just ten minutes from home, the CBD a further 10 or so via the expressway.
