16 Kane Road, Papamoa Beach, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty, 3118, New Zealand

Sun streams from all directions into the living spaces of this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom single-level 120m2 home. This is a great house, in a great location. Situated on a large 550m2 flat section in close walking distance of the beach and schools. It would be a perfect start for a young family wanting to put their own stamp on things.

The corner window seat is a great sunny spot for watching birds zip and dart through the magnolia tree in its pink spring splendour. The kitchen, dining and lounge are open-plan, with a wood burner central to the home for warmth on cosy winter evenings.

Each of the 3 double bedrooms has a wardrobe. The bathroom includes a bath, shower and vanity, with the toilet separate. The kitchen and bathroom are original to the 1991 build.

The exterior is predominantly brick, with palisade weatherboards on the southwest side. The backyard has a covered patio for outdoor summer entertaining, a flat lawn big enough to pitch a few tents for visitors in summer, and a collection of productive fruit trees and a grapevine that can supply fruit salads for summer BBQ evenings. The gardens have easy care planting that take care of themselves.

The large front lawn ensures no one feels hemmed in, creating space to catch vistas of the sky and trees in the distance. Tahatai Coast Primary School is just around the corner with the commute to school on foot, and will take less than 3 minutes. You can leave the car in the single, internal access garage.

Now vacant, the time has come to pass this to a new family who will love it and make it their own.
