Solidly constructed during the 1970s with an architectural flair and positioned in the prime location as the last house in the Bay, rugged untouched beauty surrounds this outstanding family or holiday home, treasured amongst the family and extended friends for 15 years. From 2002 to 2011 it was successfully run as The Great Beach House B&B with rave reviews from international guests. The 280sqm floor-plan and configuration is flexible and caters to a wide variety of accommodation requirements. The entry level ground floor comprises a welcoming, functional kitchen and dining area fitted with a multi fuel burning fire for heating during the cooler months. Access to the outdoor patio is easy and takes in views over Tauranga Bay. A family bathroom, laundry and two single garages with internal access, complete this floor. A basement room with cathedral ceilings, large windows and French doors to the garden and lawn is a key feature offering options for surplus accommodation, a games room, or an alternative entertainment zone for large gatherings. On the first level, a landing unfolds to three double bedrooms, the generous main living room, a family bathroom, along with an attic bedroom and a balcony accessed through two sets of bi-fold doors allowing stunning views. The living room is steeped in character; polished timber floors, exposed beams in the ceiling, bulging bookcases and a large Gillies multi-burner for winter comfort are all framed by expansive views along Nine Mile Beach on one side and Tauranga Bay on the other. Pedestrian access to both Nine Mile Beach and Tauranga Bay is just seconds away. The boundaries of the 1,133sqm section blend with the natural frontiers of the beaches beyond. Long summer lunches either on the front terrace, balcony, Sandy Bottom lookout and bath, or at the ideally located, and internationally acclaimed Bay House restaurant are all experiences that will endure the test of time.
