70 Raukawa Drive, Bethlehem, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty

A unique property set in the heart of Bethlehem, 70 Raukawa Drive epitomises a home with incredible functionality, beautiful and thoughtful design and a quiet elegance that allows the finer things in life to become part of everyday.

Discretely tucked away behind mature trees at the end of the cul de sac, a stand of elegant Conifer trees and a circular driveway gives a hint of what's to come.

Evident throughout, the 2.7 stud enhances the plentiful use of large windows and French doors to create an abundance of spaciousness and light. Through opening café windows, the huge contemporary kitchen overlooks the garden and alfresco dining area set under the canopy of the stunning glass covered pergola. The family dining enjoys a choice of patios to spill out onto and the enormous built in bookcase creates a sense of charm and intrigue. Winter evenings can be enjoyed in the warmth of the gas fire in the elegant formal lounge.

French doors and beautiful louvres provide both garden access and privacy in the first of the three bedrooms, while the master opens directly to it's own private courtyard. An enormous glass shower is the showpiece in the primary ensuite while the family bathroom and separate toilet boast their own chandeliers.

For the business part of the day, a separate office space is well positioned near the living area.

The design is not the only extraordinary feature in this beautiful home. For the energy conscious the use of solar provides your hot water, while ducted air conditioning throughout the home offers year round temperature control with the use of an app. An electric car charger in the garage is an added feature as is the extra off street parking for a camper.

The grounds have been landscaped to create peaceful pathways, hidden gardens and an easy care environment that echo's that of a grand manor.

All in all a stunning home that really does offer a WOW factor. But don't take my word for it... come and see for yourself. Buyers with a budget over $1,400,000 should consider.
