Set on a flat 730 square metre site in a tried-and-true Matua location, this beautifully finished property has an authentic, "home is where the heart is" feel about it.
Things we love about this home:
- A design and reno that showcases the bones of this unique home
- Open plan living out to new front and back decks with a custom pergola
- Bespoke whitewashed birch-ply ceilings; polished concrete flooring in the back space; white-washed and varnished floors throughout the rest of the home
- Beautiful plywood kitchen with new stove, dishwasher and rangehood, complementing the home's rustic character
- Three double bedrooms plus a flexible second lounge, family room or rumpus room, and a dedicated home office
- Fully renovated bathroom with new shower, vanity and heated towel rail
- Ticks the Healthy Homes standards with solid timber walls; a fireplace; new insulation in the ceiling, underfloor and throughout the back space; plus new double glazed, tinted joinery throughout
- New plumbing and electrics, including a new mains pressure hot water cylinder and new alarm system for genuine peace of mind
- Double glazed joinery in the garage with insulated and lined walls, new insulated roller door and new concrete floor; it offers separate access well suited to a home business
- New driveway with great curb appeal
- Fully fenced with a new aluminium fence and gate, plenty of scope to expand and room for a pool or granny flat
- Bordering Matua Salt Marsh Reserve, a tranquil outlook over native bush
- Raised organic garden beds, and established orange, lemon and feijoa trees
A practical layout sees two bedrooms lead through to the office and flexible living space, before reaching the third bedroom, giving genuine separation for the whole family. Start your morning with a coffee on the deck to the sound of tūī, then wander on foot via the Salt Marsh walking tracks to enjoy the surrounds. Alternatively head up Sylvania Drive and over the ridge to nearby Fergusson Park and Tauranga Harbour, with no need to get in the car. Families are zoned for Matua Primary, with the kids able to walk to Otumoetai Intermediate and Otumoetai College through the reserve.
Whether you're a growing family after room to spread out, a couple wanting a genuine work-from-home setup, or simply drawn to the peace and privacy of the native bush backdrop, this home has something for you.
All the hard work is done, so you can move in and enjoy. Genuinely private, properties bordering the Salt Marsh rarely come to market in Matua, so please be quick to view. Feel free to contact Sandra any time.
Deadline Sale Closes: 12noon, Wednesday 28 October 2026 (Unless Sold Prior)
