126 Sutherland Road, Brookfield, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty, 3110, New Zealand

This fabulous character home from the 1940s is a rare find, still occupying its original 911sqm (approx.) elevated north facing freehold section. Properties like this are getting rarer and rarer in Tauranga and with the proximity to the popular Brookfield shopping hub, this residence scores big in terms of potential and location. For character-lovers raising a family or with future plans to, this is a superb configuration for all ages with ample outdoor entertaining flowing from the cosy residence.

Exposed native timber floors with the elements of yesteryear showing up in art deco fire surrounds and decorative plaster cornices. A large and very sunny living room has a Kent log burner built into the fireplace and enjoys a leafy outlook across the neighbourhood. Through artistically glazed French doors a dining room is equally sunny and provides enough space for the family to sit around the dining table and enjoy the cool breeze wafting through the exterior double doors. A colourful kitchen has a South American vibe with blue cabinetry and vibrant tiling upstand where there’s scope and space to update if desired. The three bedrooms and an office share a bathroom with shower over the bath, toilet and laundry are separate. Typical of the times, the basement double garage has a lot of storage and presents some further potential to do up.

The back section is fully fenced with huge deck adjoining the house, tiered lawns and although screening hedge sits on the boundary, is somewhat of a blank canvas in terms of planting. Close to and zoned for Brookfield School as well as and Otumoetai Primary, Intermediate and College with a short commute to the CBD by car or nearby public transport.
