74 Kings Avenue, Matua, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty

The charming character timber-built home merges naturally into its peaceful garden setting within its tall native and exotic treed boundaries, decades upon decades in the making. Beyond the security gates of the pet safe section a Cyprus hedge stands sentry over a medley of blossoms, shrubs, vines, hedges, fruit trees, flower and herb gardens; all of which are a constant vista through bold sash windows and French doors from within the residence. Character quality has been maintained here while the bathrooms, washroom, kitchen and butler’s pantry are year 2024. The east wing across the 11.5 m. heated lap pool from the home’s sunroom is a perfect guest’s accommodation with shower, WC and vanity adjacent its bedroom/sitting room. A kitchenette conversion of the pool’s wet bar would give more independence to this wing. The quality, obvious from the first blush of the home, continue throughout the interior. The new kitchen boasts a master chef double oven, grill, warmer and five burner gas hob alongside other new appliances. Alongside the aesthetic appeal of the pergola garden and cobbled French quarter are the practicalities’ that make the home functional. A security system, generous areas adjacent the 55 sqm double garage and 9 m. deep boat shed, an 18 sqm. storage garage, garden, and security lighting and more. A picture might paint a thousand words – this property needs viewing to be fully appreciated.
