74 Kings Avenue, Matua, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty

This harmony of home and surround is a Matua sanctuary deep down a hedged lined driveway transporting you to a private world behind the security of iron gates.

Set on over one half of an acre or 2260 sqm. tall native and exotic trees accompanying a sheltering Cyprus hedge to stand sentry over a medley of blossoms, shrubs, vines, hedges, fruit trees, flower and herb gardens.

The home and geothermal heated lap pool sit in exquisite privacy in this garden, decades upon decades in the making.

The cedar weatherboard home with wooden joinery merges beautifully into its environment.

Bold sash and deep windows along side French doors frame different vistas of the grounds from the evening lounge, family room, dining, kitchen, study, and sunroom.

The character quality has been maintained while the bathrooms, washroom, kitchen and butlers pantry are year 2024.

The east wing, across the 11.5 m. 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. A new kitchen with master chef double oven, grill, warmer and five burner gas hob are matched with the 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.
