Avenues beauty more than skin deep

Private Avenues near the estuary, character reconstructed for contemporary life, separate studio accommodation on a flat full 1012m2 site - this property has the lot!\n\nWhen you fall in love with a home for its character and charm it's reassuring to know that the beauty is more than skin deep. There's an almost addictive appeal to this property on the quiet end of Turret Road, down a drive opposite Tauranga's inner harbour. \n\nWell worthy of your enduring love, this attractive 1950s bungalow on a rare Avenues quarter acre has been virtually rebuilt, right down to replacing much of the framing. In doing so, its original features have been retained, recycled or replicated to 21st century expectations. The roof is new, the exterior re-clad in timber weatherboards, the windows double glazed; the home insulated and well heated. Stunning matai floors gleam in the living areas and sleek contemporary kitchen. Bathroom and en-suite cabinets made from recycled rimu from the home and are a nice mix with the modern tiles and glass showers. \n\nRough-hewn timber decks invite you to move round the house with the sun. A new addition, the under-cover al fresco room, invites you to leave the intimacy of your interior lounges and gather your friends for a barbeque. You can invite them to stay, when, in addition to the three bedrooms inside, you have a delightful studio adjoining the garage in the back yard. There is plenty of parking at the rear for all the toys or room to add additional garaging if you desire. In this sought after central Avenues location you are so close to everything; Tauranga CBD, excellent schools including St Marys Primary School around the corner and the inner harbour at the end of your drive.\nA beautifully presented, superbly located Avenues home which will reward your affection and enhance your life.\n
