The Way it Was
A full freehold site sporting just one original cottage...that's a rarity in Tauranga these days. The compact weatherboard home right in the middle of a 1012sqm (approx.) site is a reminder of how Bethlehem used to be before the onset of intensive housing transformed it into a desirable suburb. High end retirement villages spread out nearby and the Bethlehem Town Centre, primary and preschools are all just down the road. City gentrification is ever inching closer to this area with its northerly aspect, water outlook and proximity to all urban amenities. The section is flat with a big tree in the back corner and inner harbour views from the side and front. The sturdy home is tidy, the kitchen and bathroom a little dated, a big laundry and separate loo near the back door. New carpet in the lounge part of the living area and in the bedrooms gives it a new lease of life. French doors face a covered deck for long summer days and evenings outside. A stand-alone concrete floored double garage with carport adds options at the rear. This is a good first home proposition, a bowl it and rebuild possibility and, of course, the size and rectangular shape suggests opportunity with its Rural Marae Community Zoning, Or one to rent out while you consider its future.
