80 Fourth Avenue, Avenues, Tauranga & Surrounds

Secret cottage garden

Hidden away in the Central Avenues, this gorgeous property has been a well kept secret - until now! If you love cottage gardens and the idyllic charm of yesteryear, this 1920s era weatherboard bungalow is going to tick all the boxes.

Wend your way along the white shell path, through gardens abundant with flowers, herbs and vegetables to sun-soaked decks leading into a delightfully appealing home brimming with warmth and ambience. Bungalow/villa aficionados will love the original native timber floors and panelled doors, soaring ceiling height throughout, clawfoot bath, pedestal basins, simple leadlight windows and French doors opening out to peaceful entertaining areas perfect for relaxing while observing the cluster of resident monarch butterflies.

The open plan kitchen and diner bathed in northerly sun from the wide bay window, has been thoughtfully modernised while still retaining the mood of the history of this home, and flows through to a cosy lounge warmed by afternoon sun and a freestanding wood burner. Three very large bedrooms share an equally spacious family bathroom, while downstairs a large office/fourth bedroom is well served by another family sized bathroom. As this room has its own entrance this could be a great work from home opportunity. Conveniently, this office is adjacent to and opens from the double garage, so this area has potential to create self contained living for extended family, teenagers or a supplementary income. An added bonus is the ample off street parking with room enough to park up a boat or motorhome.

Being an easy walking distance to the CBD and the benefit of urban amenities but tucked away down a long driveway, this property is a tranquil oasis of green sequestered away from daily hustle and bustle. It is a rare find, hiding in plain sight in a highly sought after location, and will definitely tug at the heart strings. View today and fall in love!
