18 and 18A Harbour Drive, Otumoetai, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty

Relish in this front row seat and enjoy the ever changing and spectacular panoramic view of Tauranga harbour, Matakana Island, the Marina and Tauranga Port, with majestic Mount Maunganui as the centre piece. Sprawling single level brick and tile, this 1980s era home retains a retro ambiance while setting the scene for a comfortable harbour side lifestyle walking the dog, paddle boarding, kayaking or family games in nearby Kulim Park.

The stylish kitchen with black granite topped cabinetry and quality appliances opens to spacious dining and living fronted by a wide deck and a glazed conservatory perfect for those more wintry days observing the constant ebb and flow of the tide when the wind might whip across the harbour. Three extra large bedrooms – two of which have generous sized walk in robes - share the family bathroom and powder room, elegant with foiled embossed wallpaper, while a separate laundry is functional and practical with additional storage and adjacent linen cupboard. With a small office bathed in afternoon sun, an oversized double garage with bench space and storage for housing tools and toys, and abundant off street parking, this outstanding property also offers another coveted bonus. Currently a 809sqm (more or less) sized section in two titles, apart from using the rear section for storing a boat, motorhome or pitching a tent over Christmas holidays, there is the unique opportunity for further development.

Away from the hustle and bustle, this is a highly desirable, family friendly neighbourhood handy to excellent schools, local shopping, public transport, and ready access to the CBD and Mount Maunganui. With picture postcard views that can’t be built out, a premium property of this calibre, in this tightly held location will be in high demand. For an idyllic lifestyle enjoying the good times, be sure to view today.
