44 Rata Drive, Otematata, Waitaki

This little beauty is packed with character, full of charm and has been well loved. Tucked behind a fully fenced section, you'll discover three genuinely generous bedrooms (yes, even your super-sized bed will fit!), a fabulous open plan living space with the kitchen right at the heart of the home, and dining that flows out to the deck - the perfect spot for lazy Sunday coffees, summer BBQs and catching up with friends. The backyard is just the right size - enough room for kids, pets, gardens and a bit of outdoor fun, without stealing your weekends with endless mowing. Plus, there's a single garage for the car, bikes or all those "one day I'll use it" projects. And the location? Absolutely winning! Leave the car parked up and walk to schools including PNBHS, the hospital, Terrace End shops, supermarkets, parks and the CBD. Character, convenience and a price point that makes sense... this one is too cute to ignore!
