28 Forrester Drive,
Welcome Bay, Tauranga City

Whether you are a builder, renovator, investor, flipper, or family searching for a home you can improve over time, the possibilities here are exciting. This delightful home remains largely original, providing a solid foundation for those wanting to modernise, add value, or create something special.

The lifestyle on offer is equally impressive. Just a short stroll from the waters edge, you will have easy access to kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, fishing, and all the outdoor adventures that make Welcome Bay such a desirable place to live. Kids can spend afternoons catching fish, exploring the shoreline, or enjoying the nearby green spaces of Tye Park.

Families will love the convenience of being able to walk to Welcome Bay Primary School, while local shops, reserves, and amenities are all within easy reach.

Therfore, welcome to one of Welcome Bay's most tightly held and family-friendly streets, where neighbours know each other, children grow up exploring outdoors, and opportunities like this rarely come along. Positioned in sought-after Forrester Drive, a street renowned for its distinctive 1970s architectural homes, you will find bold rooflines, interesting angles, and a unique sense of individuality that sets it apart from modern subdivisions.

Set down a private driveway on a substantial freehold section, this original home offers a combination that is becoming increasingly difficult to find boasting character, privacy, space, and genuine potential. Built in an era when homes were designed with character and individuality, the property showcases many of the architectural features that make 1970s homes so sought after today. Angled rooflines, interesting design elements, and generous proportions create a home with personality and warmth.

Completely liveable as it is, buyers have the flexibility to move in and enjoy it now, renovate immediately, or gradually modernise over time while preserving the charm and character that make it unique. A double internal access garage adds practicality, storage, and space for hobbies or projects.

Inside, high ceilings and generous living spaces create a sense of openness, while natural light fills the home throughout the day. The layout is practical and functional, offering comfort with plenty of scope for future enhancement.

Outside, the expansive section provides room to spread out, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the privacy that comes with larger land holdings. Established fruit trees, including pears, mandarins, lemons, and tangelos, add charm and create a lifestyle that's both productive and rewarding.

From parts of the home and grounds, glimpses of the water and Mount provide a subtle reminder of this special coastal setting.

Large freehold sections in locations like this are becoming increasingly rare. Combine that with a street where homes are tightly held, a family-focused community, architectural character, and endless potential, and it's easy to understand why so many who move to Forrester Drive never want to leave.

Whether you are looking to unlock value, create your dream home, or secure a lifestyle location for years to come, this is an opportunity well worth exploring. Call us to view today.
