PERFECTION

145 Waratah Street, Matua

One of Tauranga’s most tightly held and coveted addresses, the Waratah Street ridgeline offers rare peace, a perfect aspect, and ever-changing harbour views; all within exceptional proximity to the city.

Originally built in the 1970s, the property underwent a substantial transformation in 2010, emerging as one of the street’s most desirable residences. Every detail of its effortless style reflects a commitment to light, views, comfort, and quality.

A luxurious haven for couples, it provides ample space for hobbies, hosting friends and family, or locking up and leaving to travel. Perfection without regional equal.

A surprisingly quiet and private setting with all-day sun and the most engaging of views from the kitchen, dining, multiple living areas, covered balcony or generous master suite. The harbour and recreational foreshore provide visual interest without intrusion and are readily accessible from this property via a private accessway.

Secured from the street by automated vehicle and pedestrian gates. Arrival is greeted with beautifully curated planting and hardscape leading to internal access garaging or a separate covered entryway.

The large arrivals foyer, with its significant stud height and flooded with light, hints at views through an internal glass wall, and provides immediate access to the laundry, guest powder room, and a wide, bright stairwell to the garage, downstairs office, and enclosed carport.

Moving through into the open plan kitchen, dining and living, the views become unavoidable, and the quality and detail undeniable. The attractive modern kitchen is complemented by a plumbed scullery, and the living/dining areas open to a 26 m2 covered, north-facing and decked balcony.

Adjacent to the main living area is an equally scaled lounge. Cavity sliders allow separation, while substantial sliders to the covered deck and the rear glass wall provide abundant light and visual connections to the gardens on both sides of the home.

The substantial master claims the NE portion of the floor plan with private deck space, views, a large ensuite and connected walk-in wardrobe.

Down a short hallway, lined with ample storage cupboards, bedrooms two and three enjoy a shared ensuite, generous floor areas and built-in double wardrobes.

All bathrooms are well laid out and tastefully appointed with glassless tiled “wet area” showers and double vanities.

The main outdoor living balcony is complemented by a sheltered south-side garden courtyard, which also connects with the harbour views via the lounge area through the thoughtful glazed hallway wall. An additional deck area extends from the downstairs office, providing for a snug suntrap, surrounded by greenery, and benefiting from a cantilevered umbrella in the hotter months.

A raised kitchen garden, lawn area, planted beds, mature trees, and even a putting green contribute to the faultless landscaping around the full periphery of this property. The section is fully enclosed with respect to children or pets.
