49 Forrester Drive, Welcome Bay, Tauranga & Surrounds

Retro waterfront home and income

If you are a lover of 1970s retro style and are looking for a project in a prime Welcome Bay location, don't miss this amazing opportunity! Set on a large 724sqm flat section gently rolling down to your own slice of waterfront, this brick and tile renovator is gloriously north-westerly aspect with sweeping expansive views over the inner harbour towards Maungatapu and Matapihi.

With three large bedrooms, a spacious open laundry, separate WC and a 70s flavoured family bathroom, so much of this home screams nostalgia - but definitely in a good way! Open living spaces with high pitched ceilings and exposed beams flow onto wrap around decks and a conservatory perfect for soaking up the sun. Details such as panelled timber feature walls others are paying to have installed in their houses; a huge brick hearth with open grate fireplace; an amazing original beaten copper range hood and achingly cool retro kitchen tiles; and last but not least, the obligatory spiral staircase with rimu banister leading down to a completely self-contained one bedroom flat.

Located on what is arguably the most sought after street in Welcome Bay, a nearby shopping centre, choice of two local primary schools and easy access to central Tauranga make this a very desirable property. The two garaging with internal access easily house vehicles and water toys, secure this niche lifestyle and enjoy the good life!
