14B Taupo Avenue, Mt Maunganui, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty

Set back from the roadside amid lush leafy surrounds, this secret hideaway is loaded with charm.

A remarkable transformation has breathed new life into this former garage, showcasing its unique potential as a charming getaway. Whilst not consented as a residential dwelling, it offers an opportunity for creative buyers to envision its future as a beach pad.

Whether you choose to keep it solely for family use or provide an offering to paid holidaymakers, the innovative space planning caters to both.

The time enduring combination of striking black with white trim brings classic style to the exterior, contrasted by a pop of vibrant green foliage.

Cleverly configured for functionality, the interior comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and laundry. Warm whites provide a neutral backdrop, while board and batten ceilings overhead inject character appeal and bungalow charm.

Established trees frame an impressively sized lawn and quaint cobbled patio, providing adequate shelter and dreamy dappled light when dining outdoors. It's also a superb place for children to play freely as you stretch out the sun lounger and while away the long summer days with your favourite read.

The icing on the cake is its desirable location, sitting mere moments away from Girven Road's selection of wellbeing facilities, convenient amenities, and bus routes. But the cherry on top is the enviable proximity to Mount Maunganui's golden sands and renowned surf breaks.
