UNPRECEDENTED

3 Fourth Avenue, Avenues

Anchored on the edge of the Tauranga Harbour and its CBD, this pinnacle of Bay of Plenty property locations has been sought after since the origin of the city.

A bold Brendon Gordon architectural showpiece, of significance in size and structure, has been substantially built by Gudsell Builders to take advantage of this rare waterfront opportunity.

Serving a couple or family, full time or lock up and leave, this residence offers a true pedestrian city lifestyle and the utter convenience and prestige of the most central of positions.

With the rejuvenation of Tauranga’s centre (the heart of the region) well underway, savvy buyers will appreciate the proven long term value of real estate of this nature, and recognise the additional scarcity and value of its engineered waterfront position.

A unique gated cluster of four uncompromising freehold ‘Brendon Gordon’ designed townhouses, set on the quiet Harbour’s edge end of Fourth Avenue East. Just a stroll to the centre of the CBD, and steps to the water where Kingfish have been caught, and Flounder speared.

Considerable cost and engineering have secured a unique waterfront connection that’s easily accessed via terraced lawns and gentle stairways. Two seawalls separate the walkway from the harbour, with space to store water toys for easy deployment.

Uncompromising quality of construction and material choice from well-regarded Gudsell Builders. Precast concrete intermediate floors and masonry walls provide for large spans, allowing vast areas of open floor plan, atrium spaces, and mezzanine walkways.

A generous entry porch connects with a covered arrivals area outside the double car internal access garaging. The atrium foyer and central hallway connect both ends and levels of the home to its centre, making this substantial floor area live intimately.

The open plan living/dining/kitchen area is supported by a large pantry and home office nook. A gas fireplace focuses the living area while substantial sliders connect this great room to a large covered seaside deck and a snug north facing louvred alcove offering an alternative outdoor living space. 

Extensive ground floor decks wrap around the eastern end of the home, connecting the outstanding elevated views up and down the inner harbour from the Mount to Maungatapu and across to Matapihi, nature by day, twinkling lights by night… a corner of the home, adjacent to the entry of the waterfront pathway, conceals a utility area complete with a fish filleting bench.

The ground level is completed by an oversized internal access double garage, a guest powder room, and a separate galley laundry with direct access to the yard.

The first floor can be accessed by lift or stairwell, landing on the mezzanine walkway which separates the Master suite from the additional accommodation. 

This master suite of uncommon indulgence is upscaled in every amenity and includes a lounge, breakfast bar, ensuite with bath, walk through dressing room, and 18m2 of private covered deck space connecting the view and welcoming the sunrise.

Additional accommodation comprises two bedrooms, with built in wardrobes, adjacent to a twin vanity shared bathroom and a sizable storage/linen room. 

Of note on this level is the thoughtful office space with inbuilt furniture and motorised louvre controlled light and views toward Mauao.

Comfort is assured with addressable/smart lighting, gas fired central and hydronic underfloor heating, with ducted climate control on the first floor.

Easy care landscaping and hardscaping, with dedicated campervan/boat parking, demonstrate the finishing touches on a very well-considered residential lifestyle.
