50A Harvey Street

Bungalow charm, gardens and views

In the golden triangle of the sought after central Avenues, this super cute property is a beacon for first home buyers or investors looking for a savvy opportunity. Privately located down a driveway and elevated for picturesque views of the inner harbour, Matapihi Peninsula and Maungatapu Bridge, this 1960s era home is a sturdy brick with cedar shingle trim, set amongst luxuriant cottage gardens and a variety of established fruit trees.

Bungalow aficionados will love the original native timber floors and panelled doors, stone framed wood burner with rimu mantle and cabinetry, over height ceilings and French doors opening from spacious living to an extra large deck bathed in all day sun, superb for relaxing and entertaining. A delightfully appealing home brimming with warmth and ambiance, three large bedrooms with built in robes share the family bathroom and separate WC, while the cosy kitchen, diner and adjacent laundry while gently updated, remind of days past.

A bonus is the huge room downstairs which could be a fabulous rumpus or work from home office, or has the potential to create self-contained living for extended family, teenagers or supplementary income.

Much loved by the previous owner for 35 years, this home will blossom in the hands of those looking for a renovation project and reward with readily added value. With a double carport and off-street parking, leave the car at home and take advantage of this premium Central Avenues location, ideally placed with St Mary's School a short stroll down the road, and walking distance to amenities and all that Central Tauranga has to offer. Nestled in a sheltered, sun-drenched situation, bring your best ideas and explore the many options this tranquil property has to offer.
