1 Sixth Avenue, Avenues, Tauranga & Surrounds

Deceased Estate

Property:\nOriginal Avenues Seeks Rejuvenation.\nNet this Tauranga original for central city life where you can fish for flounder off the deck.\nSo right on the water it almost hovers over the harbour, strategically sited at the very bottom of Sixth Avenue, an easy walk to Tauranga's CBD. Slightly exhausted from a busy life since the 1930s, but poised for rejuvenation this home is just waiting for the buyer with the vision to inject it with 21st century energy. Maybe in a radical renovation incorporating the structure which places you more on the water than you'd be able to build these days. \nThe home exhibits what was important in days gone by. The long boat shed which hugs the street wall and has its own slip way, is twice the size of the single garage and garden shed at the rear of the property. The laundry is nearly as big as the kitchen. Its respect for its outlook is more contemporary with a lounge stepping to a conservatory living area at the waterfront. There are two sizable bedrooms down, one facing the views. The upper addition (made by the current owners in the 1970s) is set up as a large bed sitting room but these days would be the master suite where you take your morning coffee onto your private terrace and watch the orca swim by, the rowers doing their morning training, the flounder floating freely.\nBuilt in the 1940s by the Adams family, when this probably seemed long way from the city centre, it was purchased as a retirement home in 1975 by an ex US serviceman and his English wife, the most recent resident of the home. \nThis property presents a rare opportunity to put your mark on Tauranga's waterfront and create architecture for today in an enduring setting. With 905sqm to 'play with' there's ample space and ample off street entrance, to extend into the lawn, and add a double garage but still keep enough for a cricket pitch under the trees.\nLIM and property file available for potential purchaser.\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 is one of the 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
