Bethlehem
Exceptional for Entertaining and Earning
This is a comprehensive property wonderful for
entertaining, ideal for family and with facility for operating a
substantial home based business. It's only a few minutes from
Tauranga's CBD and even closer to the local village and shopping
centre.\n\n Property:\nThe beautiful residence offers over
400m2 of light filled living with a further 87m2 of purpose built
office and extra garaging - all set in well over an acre (5,437m2)
of park like grounds with tennis court and in ground pool. \n\nFor
these owners this property was a 'wish list come true'. They were
searching for security, space and privacy but did not want to go
too far from the city to find it. 'Westridge' is an enclave of
leafy lifestyle properties in popular Bethlehem where prestigious
homes are surrounded by mature gardens. You have the pleasure of
being part of a neighbourhood but retain as much personal privacy
as you desire.\n\nThis property is up a wide right of way where
white wrought iron key pad operated gates admit you to a roundabout
encircling a huge tree outside the main home. The drive continues
to the office complex behind it. There is plenty of parking for
both private and business use. \n\nThe home was built in the 1990s
and has undergone an upgrade where no compromise was made in
enhancing its spacious proportions and attractive user friendly
layout. Part of its classically gracious appeal is in the light
flooding from large windows, many to floor level, and the many
doors that ensure outdoor living is enjoyed to the full. \n\nThe
front door opens to a foyer which forms an open flowing axis for
the formal lounge a couple of steps below, the formal dining room,
and an entertaining room which has its own discreet built in bar.
\n\nFamily time will probably focus on the open plan living past
the formal dining room. The tiled kitchen is positioned perfectly
for a view into the garden, out to the tennis court (separated from
the house by a wisteria bower) and to the pool off the terrace. Its
bench faces the casual dining area. Relaxed living completes a
large open plan space with three sets of external doors to patio or
pool. A butlers' pantry slots in neatly opposite the kitchen and
near the back door where a sauna room hides.\n\nThe practical hard
flooring of family living areas and dining room are contrasted by
sophisticated dark carpet in the lounge and bedrooms and the home
office. \n\nApart from a gorgeous guest suite on the lower level by
the pool all the bedrooms are above. Multi paned windows deliver
light to carpeted stairs to a landing which branches to the
children's wing and to the master suite and fifth bedroom. Children
have their own lounge outside two double bedrooms which flank their
bathroom and toilet. \n\nThe master suite is a delightful room with
doors to balcony wrapping two sides and a bay window where you can
curl up on a couch in the sunshine. This room has an atmosphere of
being in and above the trees with a lush semi urban
outlook.\n\nAmple storage includes well designed wardrobes in
bedrooms and plenty of hall cupboards as well as extra space at the
rear of the home's double garage.\n\nThe new block is a boon to
anyone wishing to work from home - two large offices (one with
sink), a 'loo', and then across the hall the high stud double
garage with a laundry tub at the rear and plumbed for a shower. You
get an excellent work place with space for the extra vehicles or
the boat or 'toys' that are part of a coastal 'kiwi'
lifestyle.\n\nLocation:\nFew regions in New
Zealand or the world for that matter have as much to offer as the
Bay of Plenty. From the gentle harbour waters to its surf beaches,
its fishing and diving grounds to the scenic bush, the Bay is as
much a quiet recreational playground as it is a thriving business
and rural community.\nKey economic elements for the region include
Tourism, Horticulture (predominately Kiwifruit and Avocado
production), Viticulture, Pastoral farming, Forestry, Housing and
Holiday Makers. The rapid growth in the area provides a vibrant
living environment from job opportunities to business prospects
with a sustainable future.\nTauranga as a city is one of the
fastest, if not fastest growing cities in New Zealand. With a
mixture of beautiful scenery, great beaches, cafes, restaurants and
nightspots it is more than a city it is a lifestyle. The award
winning schools also provide a key reason why Tauranga is proving
to be such an attractive destination for both ex Kiwi's and
migrants as a place to set up their new life in New
Zealand.\n'Westridge' is an enclave of leafy lifestyle properties
in popular Bethlehem where prestigious homes are surrounded by
mature gardens. It's only a few minutes from Tauranga's CBD and
even closer to the local village and shopping centre.\n\nIn
