Welcome to Carlton House & Cottage
Warm, welcoming and filled with character, this much-loved Ōtūmoetai home has been at the heart of one family's life for almost 18 years.
Often admired by locals for its charming street appeal it is one of the original homes on Grange Road, crafted in the 1950s from native New Zealand heart rimu and reflects the quality and character of its era. Over time, it has been thoughtfully modernised to provide comfortable and easy family living while retaining the warmth that makes it so distinctive.
At its centre is a timeless kitchen with engineered stone benchtops and generous storage, flowing naturally into the spacious dining area. A sunny window seat offers a quiet place to pause, while the separate lounge and gas fireplace create a cosy setting for relaxed evenings and family movie nights.
The north facing sunroom is a particular highlight. Large bi fold doors open the space to the deck, gardens and swimming pool, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. It is a peaceful spot for your morning coffee and an inviting place to gather with family and friends.
Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, a versatile office or hobby room and two beautifully appointed tiled bathrooms. From this elevated position, the home enjoys glimpses of the harbour towards Matakana Island and spectacular sunsets over the Kaimai Ranges.
Downstairs, the basement garage includes a dedicated man cave, providing another place to unwind, watch the game, pursue a hobby or simply escape for a little quiet time.
Another big bonus is the fully self contained one-bedroom cottage, build in 2019 in keeping with the main home. Ideal for multi generational living, visiting guests, working from home or supplementary income, it provides genuine flexibility as your family's needs change over time.
Set across an impressive 1,133sqm (more or less), the established grounds provide the space and privacy that families value and that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in central Ōtūmoetai. Lush lawns give children room to play, while the in ground swimming pool, expansive decking and outdoor pizza oven set the scene for long summer days and relaxed entertaining.
The location completes the picture. Local cafés, restaurants, Woolworths supermarket and Ōtūmoetai Golf Course are all close at hand, along with excellent schooling including popular Pillans Point Primary School. Waterfront walkways, parks and reserves are nearby, while Tauranga's CBD, Mount Maunganui and key arterial routes are within easy reach.
Character, space, privacy and versatility come together here in a way that is rarely found. After almost 18 cherished years with its current family, this special home is ready for its next chapter…and for another family to create treasured memories.
