Tauranga, Otumoetai 126 Vale Street

Out of the Ordinary

When the current owners moved to Tauranga they had a list of things they were looking for in their next dream home. They didn't want to sit in traffic. It had to be close to everything. Close for work. Close to the shops. Close to the beach-8 minutes. Close to good schools. She wanted a nice house. He wanted his mancave space. It had to get lots of sun. Both wanted a good outdoor space to entertain. Most important was that they wanted something different. Something out of the ordinary.

What the professional couple got was a house that ticked all the boxes - and so much more. This unassuming property from the outside has that WOW factor as soon as you walk in the front door. The unique setting with elevated north facing views across the treetops to the golf course fairways and Mauao's summit. This weatherboard home has the credentials, set well back for privacy on a 413 sqm (approx.) section and would be a cool first home for young professionals who think outside the box and want a place that hits different. Features include:

• Open plan living durably tiled, warmed by cosy wood burner and having seamless connection outdoors on either side

• Wide views enjoyed from an expansive front veranda and at rear, secluded courtyards, tiered hardwood decks, and covered pavilions for a range of summer entertainment

• A smart monochromatic galley kitchen with Bosch hob and exterior doors for easy ferrying of the food and drinks for alfresco hangs

• Three bedrooms having good closet space with one adjoining the living room as an optional second lounge

• Ground floor media/music room at the rear of the internal access single garage with flow to a patio

Zoned for desirable Pillans Point School and in close proximity to CBD, harbour walkways, boardwalks, and sandy beaches with the nearby Chapel St beach a popular launching spot for SUP boarders. A short walk to a range of excellent cosmopolitan cafes and eateries with the Bureta precinct handy for Countdown.
