Lock and Leave at Madison on Third

City fringe living never looked so good for this spectacular two storey terrace townhouse in a prestigious row connected to one of Tauranga's coveted Avenues. A short walk to everything you need, the three bedroom 2003 built home within the Madison on Third enclave is positioned privately toward the rear of the complex for a peace and seclusion.

A pedestrian access leads to the fully walled and gated courtyard where a bold red front door opens to reveal the entrance hall and mobility friendly stairway. Living and dining areas upstairs are tastefully presented with neutral toned walls and soft, high quality, underlay carpet enhancing insulation and comfort. This spacious open plan zone has double height proportions integrating light filled ceiling volumes flanked by electrically operated clerestory windows. A floor mounted heat pump provides winter warmth while a lovely bifold accessed balcony offers alfresco entertaining in summer. With attractive granite benchtops deftly integrating timber sideboard and black tile back splash, the handsome, open plan kitchen also boasts SMEG appliances including new induction hob top. Upstairs master bedroom has a dual access ensuite, walk in wardrobe, and Juliet balcony for that morning coffee on sunny days. Two more double bedrooms downstairs have good storage and share another tiled bathroom with substantial oak veneer cabinetry and shower over the bath. A sizable internal access double garage integrates the laundry and handy storage shelving.

The unit titled 151sqm (approx.) home is very low maintenance with no grass to mow and is a short walk to top schooling, Tauranga's Saturday Farmers Market, cafes, shops and restaurants. With waterfront a short walk away for some coastal air this city fringe location is hard to beat. Whether you're a social urbanite, small family, or downsizing empty nesters, this centrally located home delivers an upmarket cosmopolitan vibe in a safe, well resourced community.
