Tauranga, Bethlehem 1 Sterling Gate Drive

Bethlehem Family Home With Sea Views

Sitting proudly atop Sterling Gate, this much-loved solid brick home with sweeping views from the harbour to the Mount is on the market for the first time since 1998.

This spacious 240 sqm (approx.) home on a freehold 910 sqm (approx.) fully fenced section is situated in a prestigious neighbourhood, close to excellent schooling, shops, and amenities, making it a highly desirable and sought-after location.

North facing with an abundance of sunshine, this single level home has neutral toned walls with a tidy interior which you may wish to revamp with your own style and personality in time. Well configured, the tiled entrance foyer connects to a large open plan kitchen and family room, perfect for chatting with friends and family while making dinner. Adjoining the family room is a separate dining area and lounge with gas fireplace. All three living spaces have been designed with oversized windows to maximise the stunning views, while French doors allow easy flow to patios and lush lawns with plenty of places to entertain alfresco or to enjoy the sunrise with your morning cuppa.

The kitchen, though original, has been well maintained and features a gas hob, dishwasher, and ample cabinetry. All three bedrooms are large doubles with the master bedroom having an ensuite and large walk-in wardrobe. The home also includes a roomy office for when you need to work from home or students need a quiet place for study. A separate toilet neighbours the family bathroom and as typical of a house built in this era – storage is plentiful. There is a separate laundry off the internal access double garage, which is accompanied by good off-street parking with potential to park a boat or trailer.

Zoned for Bethlehem School, Otumoetai Intermediate, Otumoetai College and the Boys' and Girls' Colleges, this location is highly sought after. Close to the motorway ramps for a city or Mount commute and well-placed to nearby Bethlehem Town Centre or Tauranga Crossing for shops and entertainment amenities.
