The four-bedroom, four-bathroom house in the Tauranga suburb of Matua had gone to auction at the end of March but had passed in and was put back on the market with a price tag $3.9 million.
The black two-level home was listed as having "impressive English gardens, spacious lawn and a magnificent thermal bore pool".
"Bold interior design and modern renovations combine with original 1950's solid architecture to create a spacious home for any family and their guests. Experience a very special property in sought-after Matua," the listing says.
