Hidden back from the road, down its own driveway, sits this classic 1950's home. The current owners took on the property in original condition and have spent the last few years transforming it into a modern, move in ready space. From the new front deck you move into the living hub of the home; open plan with a woodburner fireplace to keep you warm through the upcoming winter. The kitchen is well appointed with ample storage and modern appliances. Down the hall you'll find an updated bathroom with a large walk in shower, as well as 3 good sized bedrooms. The renovated laundry is off the back door. The interior has been fully repainted and has new floor coverings throughout with the owners choosing a clean, crisp colour scheme allowing you to add your own personal flare through furnishings. The home is also fully double glazed. A real bonus is the large adjoining double garage and workshop space, as well as ample off-street parking for additional vehicles. There are many established trees and plants spread around the section providing shade and privacy from neighbouring properties. There is a reason this location is so highly sought after being only a short stroll from the Whakatane River Walkway, playgrounds, New World Supermarket and many eateries and shops. The current owners have enjoyed their time here but have upgraded and moved on so it is time for a new owner to take over and enjoy their hard work.

My vendor has already moved to Australia, and the rest of the family would love to follow, so their beloved property must be sold! We have realistic vendors, keen for feedback on price, so come check out this great property for yourself. This is a home that can serve many different purposes; multigenerational family home, home & income, a solid investment, staff accommodation, or just a home with enough space for the family to spread out. If home ownership has felt out of your reach, perhaps you could explore the option of combining forces and buying with friends or extended family. Comprising of the main home; a spacious 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom, well modernised space. The current owners have updated it over the last 8 years to present a lovely, modernised interior. The construction of the home is majority brick, so a solid, lower maintenance build with the added benefit of double glazing throughout. Moving out the back you have the bonus of a sleepout; a large open plan room currently used as a studio with living and bedroom set up, a full kitchen and a separate bathroom with additional laundry. Originally built as temporary accommodation in the 1950's while the main home was built, this space has also been updated over the years and is a real bonus.
