Tauranga, Welcome Bay 38 Endeavour Avenue

Solid Lockwood Charm with Harbour Outlook

The current owner had this home built 42 years ago by Lockwood Homes this solid and much-loved home offers timeless construction, elevated views, and superb family living in one of Welcome Bay’s most peaceful pockets. It’s ready for someone else to restore and renovate.
Step inside and you are welcomed by the iconic warmth of Lockwood timber paired with a sense of openness created by generous high ceilings and a spacious, light-filled layout. The main living zone is fully open plan, bringing together the lounge, dining, and kitchen in one inviting, connected space. Whether you love relaxing, entertaining, or simply sitting back to enjoy the view, this central hub offers comfort, character, and an uplifting sense of space. A peaceful spot and at the rear of the home you have a lovely timber deck with a covered Pergola and an opportunity to restore the fully fenced Mayfair Swimming Pool to its former glory (being sold as is) or fill it in and create a bigger play area for the family.
The home is already Healthy Homes Compliant, giving you peace of mind around warmth, ventilation, and ongoing comfort. While the interior may be a little dated, its honesty, solid construction, and excellent bones present a fantastic opportunity for those who would enjoy updating the home and adding future value.
The main bedroom enjoys the convenience of its own en-suite, while the remaining two bedrooms are well-served by a full-size main bathroom. A separate laundry which is a bonus.
Outdoors, the property continues to deliver. The section offers space for gardening, pets, or children to play, while the elevated site means you can enjoy sun, privacy, and those harbour peeks all at once. There is also good storage throughout the home with a double garage below the home and plenty of off-street parking.
If you’re looking for a home that offers character, strength, and potential — along with an inviting setting and long-held ownership this Lockwood gem is ready to welcome its next family. With plenty to love now and endless scope to modernise over time, it’s a property that will appeal to those who value trustworthy construction and a warm, uplifting atmosphere.
