Tauranga, Matua 45B Strathmore Street

Simply Superb from School to Sea

Seize the day and grab this rare opportunity to be a part of a coveted cul-de-sac dominated by substantial executive homes. Slap bang in the heart of Matua School zone and with nearby walkway to classes, the sizeable brick and tile beauty could not be better addressed. Partly upgraded and refurbished, the added health benefits of living close to popular Fergusson Park cannot be overemphasised.

Constructed in 1982 and calling into play some lovely character references, the elegant interior successfully weds vintage with vogue anchored by two years new carpet. Pretty plaster cornices and classic archways define the formal lounge boasting statement recessed ceiling and billowing drapes. Banks of sliders include one accessing a snug conservatory for hobbies, study, or just relaxing with a hot cuppa on wet mornings. The other two connect seamlessly with a covered cloister where steps ascend to a cobblestone courtyard guarded by bountiful citrus tree. Though original, the timber kitchen is well maintained and good to go but extends possibilities to upscale for a 2024 aesthetic if preferred. Both double bedrooms are well endowed with closet space and the master has its own heat pump - with another in the lounge. The pastel toned bathroom is clad in mosaics to harmonise with bathtub, shower, and generous vanity while the toilet is separate. A separate laundry with back door has scope to harness space more efficiently and there's plenty of storage cupboards throughout the home.

A carpeted internal access garage is readily approached from the shared driveway and the easy care section includes some forecourt parking space and flat lawns. Close to the waterfront and Matua's many excellent leisure amenities with a city commuter bus route handy, this appealing property adds up to something very special for first home buyers, retirees and those downsizing into a convenient low maintenance lifestyle.
