So much work has been done to renovate and refurb this classic four-bed Kiwi home! The inside is beautiful and bright. Outside it’s private and full of potential!

From the repainted weatherboard exterior to the retro 70s interior, every inch has been showered with time and attention: the result is an elegant abode that’s ready to receive new owners. The house is built in a ‘T’ shape, with the lounge, dining, and kitchen stretching from the front to the back of the house. They’re all connected for a great flow, and flooded with light. French doors open from the lounge to the front deck, while the glazed back door leads to the covered rear patio, separate laundry, and an enormous garden. There’s a wood burner in the lounge, a heat pump in the hall, and an all-new kitchen, all redecorated and upgraded with a smart, clean simplicity.

The four bedrooms form the north to south stretch of the ‘T’. There are two singles, one of which could be your office, and two doubles; the master is a particularly generous size. The family bathroom has had its share of TLC too, nicely tiled with a stone bench-top vanity.

While there’s nothing left to do inside, the outside is ripe and ready for your imagination to go wild. Maybe you want to turn it over to veggie garden and fruit trees or restyle it as a playground and parking space for your trailer or boat? Or maybe, with the right Council approvals, you could build a whole other house? There’s also an oversized garage and three sheds. Fully fenced, with some native trees and shrubs, there’s lots of space, lots of privacy, and lots of potential. There really is a lot here on this huge plot in a great spot: the estuary, beach, schools are all nearby, while the boardwalk and bike trails mean Otaihanga and Waikanae are only a shortcut away, too.
