81 Forrester Drive, Welcome Bay, Tauranga & Surrounds

Waterfront playground

If you've been searching for a large family home with the character and charm of the late 1970s, but all the renovating has already been completed to an exceptionally high standard, you can relax, you've found it. Relaxation is the operative word to apply to this highly desirable property in what is arguably the most sought after street in Welcome Bay. Set on a large section gently rolling down to your own slice of waterfront, with expansive views over the inner harbour towards Maungatapu, Matapihi, it's not hard to imagine kayaking, paddle boarding or launching a dinghy off the lawn for some quality quiet time.

This is a very well thought through renovation and a much loved family home. Engineered with steel beams for extra strength, re-wired, double glazed throughout the majority of the property, solar water heating, a wetback fire, and a fully fenced yard with electric gates all combine to enhance the quality of this low maintenance property.

Compelling views complement the spacious lounge warmed by a fireplace framed by the original slate chimney, a light filled dining area opening through triple stacker doors to a covered deck, and a sleek modern kitchen. A paved west facing BBQ area set off the living area, stepping down to a pergola sheltered spa and lush lawn, elevates the lifestyle living of this home.

Spread over three levels are two double bedrooms, a third single bedroom, a large study that could easily be a fourth bedroom, plus a master suite complete with pitched timber ceilings. Downstairs has a superb billiard room, separate lounge, single bedroom and a large space currently used as some of the aforementioned workshop.

Storage is abundant too with a cavernous attic area, a double garage with extra workshop space, a garden shed to house water toys and enough off street parking for a campervan and boat. With a shopping centre nearby, a choice of two local primary schools, a great park next door and ready access to central Tauranga, this is an exclusive opportunity to secure a fabulous lifestyle
