591a Maunganui Road Mt Maunganui, Tauranga City

Whether you're looking for your first home, a place to raise the family, work from home, create an art studio, run a business, secure a smart investment, or simply buy a property with genuine future potential, opportunities like this are hard to find.

Some homes simply have a feeling, and this is one of them. Set on a generous 458 sqm freehold section, this classic 1960s brick home offers charm, flexibility and space in a sought-after Mount location - all for under $800,000.

More than just a place to live, it's a slice of Mount Maunganui, a home to make memories in and a property with the scope to evolve with you.

Full of warmth, charm and timeless appeal, it captures the craftsmanship of an era increasingly difficult to find. Set on a single level and bursting with personality, it has a familiar, comforting quality that makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. A distinctly Kiwiana Art Deco concrete garden seal at the front is a charming reminder of a bygone era and the details that give vintage homes their soul and individuality.

There's something wonderfully nostalgic about this home almost like being embraced in a warm hug. It takes you back to a simpler pace of life, where families gathered around the kitchen table and evenings were spent together by the fire.

The original kitchen, complete with separate laundry, is functional while offering scope to create a fresh, contemporary space that reflects your style. The adjoining dining area forms the heart of the home, beautifully enhanced by original Matai timber flooring, while the spacious separate lounge provides a cozy retreat beside the crackling wood-burning fireplace.

When the sun comes out to play, French doors open to the patio, framed by maturing olive trees for a wonderful sense of privacy. It's made for morning coffee, long lunches and summer entertaining. The family-friendly backyard provides another inviting space to gather, with a raised garden bed for veggies, herbs or strawberries, mature lemon and lime trees, and plenty of room for the children to play.

Three well-appointed bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate toilet provide comfortable living, with scope to modernize and add value over time.

The converted and insulated garage is where this home really starts to offer something different. Use it as a home office, art studio, hobby room, workshop, rumpus or additional storage, or take advantage of its road visibility and easy access for a home-based business. With the house positioned towards the rear of the section, there's also space to explore the potential for a self-contained pod and additional income stream, subject to the necessary consents. Flexible accommodation, genuine options and the opportunity to shape the property around your lifestyle.

Outside, the fenced section offers easy family living, with low-maintenance gardens, complete with garden and wood sheds, generous off-street parking and space for a boat or caravan.

And then there's the location. Zoned for Omanu Primary, Mount Maunganui Intermediate and Mount Maunganui College, you're close to Bayfair, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and the beach, with excellent motorway connections and public transport nearby.

Come for the character. Stay for the lifestyle. Fall in love with the possibilities.

Don't miss your opportunity to make this Mount classic your own. I look forward to welcoming you at the open home or arranging your private viewing.
