Tauranga has many locations hidden in plain sight that surprise and delight with unexpectedly amazing views yet have close proximity to great schools, amenities and the CBD. Judea is one such sought after area, where sitting proud on the rise is a beautifully revamped 1960s era weatherboard bungalow perfect for family living.
Wide views out over the Waikareao Estuary towards the bright lights of the CBD and around to the cranes of the Port and Mt Maunganui, are a visual treat while relaxing on the front deck off the family lounge, or framed from the large open plan kitchen/dining. A sleek modern kitchen complete with 4m long island bench and large walk in scullery, flow from here out to extensive decks constructed around a fabulous established maple tree that forms a natural, multi-toned umbrella during the summer months. Sturdy rail sleeper edged steps lead up to a superb pool area, perfect for cooling down over the hot summer months, or relaxing in a lounger soaking up some sun, and on to a back lawn with plenty of room for children and pets to safely play.
There is plenty of room to spread out inside too. Adjacent to the slate tiled front entrance is a lounge, bathroom and bedroom that could be a great teenage retreat, work from home office, or potentially a self contained flat. Upstairs two more generous sized bedrooms share a spacious family bathroom and separate WC, while the master suite replete with double wardrobes has its own stylish ensuite.
This much loved family home has been thoughtfully and carefully modernised but has retained the natural charm and character features of the original structure. Pitched ceilings with exposed rimu beams are highlighted by windows set high to let in plenty of light, while an HRV system manages and moderates temperature. A large garage and extra off street parking houses vehicles and toys and is a quick easy drive to the CBD, amenities and main arterial routes. This property ticks all the lifestyle boxes - act now to be settled in for summer.
