This is a truly unique, once in a lifetime opportunity. A forever property in a highly desirable Tauranga location. Originally built as a holiday home for Miss Skellerup from Christchurch in the 1970's, you can see the influence of the Garden City in the original architect's choice of the red brick façade of this unique waterfront home. While waterfront is the preferred nomenclature of properties within a short distance of the harbour, this property shares an 80 metre boundary with the harbour - you can throw a fishing line in from your front lawn - this is true waterfront!
The holiday feeling is immediate on stepping inside; a large portion of the home's footprint of 201sqm (approx.) has been given over to an enormous open plan living space. A renovation in 2008 designed by Brendon Gordon has seen this home sensitively and deftly moved into the 21st century. This space is currently configured as two seating areas and two dining spaces, overseen by the kitchen which is finished timelessly in American oak and light cabinetry. American oak flooring inset with carpet leaves this space to be changed as the crowd size changes. With heating from a heat pump, gas fire and HRV system, you can snuggle down and watch a storm rage as easily as you can throw open the vast sliding doors and welcome in a calm sunny day. The 180 degree harbour views from almost every window encompass the harbour's islands, sunrise over Mauao and stunning sunsets over the Kaimai's.
The remainder of the home comprises three bedrooms, an office, powder room and two fully tiled bathrooms; one en-suite. The bedrooms are all positioned along the front of the home, each with an exterior door. Large shutters can be pulled across and bolted securely so on a summer's night you can sleep with the door open, lulled by the lapping of the waves.
Bordered on two sides by the harbour and the reserve, the 1,234sqm (approx.) site has a large lawn, two garden sheds and gorgeous gardens including a greenhouse and vege boxes. There is also a plenty of off-street parking in addition to the tandem garaging. At the rear of the garage the original gardener's room is now the laundry and as such, houses a handy extra toilet.
Matua is a highly desirable Tauranga suburb with popular Ferguson Park and local walkways that take you to the city all within steps of this property.
We don't need to drown you in superlatives, they do all fit, but we would just welcome you to pay a visit and fall in love. The property itself will do the talking and leave you lost for words.

Chris Royal
Realty Services Ltd
Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (REAA 2008), Member of the REINZ
Those who know Chris know he's no stranger to hard work. Starting his real estate career in the tough market of 2003, Chris was Eves Realty Limited Rookie of the Year in 2004/2005 and since then Chris has cemented his place in the industry and gained the reputation of being one of Tauranga's most successful and customer focused agents by maintaining his position in the top 2 salespeople within Eves Realty Limited every year since (approximately 200 Salespeople). Apart from relinquishing the title briefly in 2010, Chris has consistently been the Eves Top Auction Marketer and ASB Auction Cup Winner every year since 2007.
However, it's not the awards or the recognition that drive Chris to excel in real estate. It is the passion he has for the industry and the people he meets along the way. Most importantly, it is his fundamental belief that it is extremely important to "Do what you say you are going to do." Put simply, to Chris the words honestly, integrity and results underpin the way in which he conducts himself, his business and his relationships with his clients which is one of the very reasons why so many people hire him to sell their property.
Chris has a wealth of knowledge and experience and he's well known for his friendly, no nonsense and straight forward approach.
In his own words Chris says "When so much can be at stake for my clients, I feel it's my responsibility to tell them what they need to hear to put them in the best position to make informed decisions, which is sometimes not what they may want to hear."
Coupled with proven strategies and a game plan that best fit their needs plus the grit and determination to succeed when the going gets tough means he's able to coach them though the journey that will enable them to achieve their goals. His approach has earned a great deal of respect from Solicitors, Lending Institutions, Registered Valuers and other industry professionals and is clearly why so many people refer business and come back to him again and again year after year.
That means you can rely on Chris to do the right thing by you putting you in the best position to make well informed and timely decisions so that you can achieve what the sale of your property will allow you to achieve.
