3 Rere Place, Parakai, Helensville, Rodney, Auckland, 0800, New Zealand

This tidy fully fenced, three-bedroom weatherboard home is selling now. It’s selling now so the owners can grab the house they’ve got their eye on, hence the sharp price. Be quick and you’ll get a clever deal on this level property in Parakai near the famous Parakai Hot Springs. The home includes a modern bathroom as well as a convenient extra toilet separate from the bathroom. The open-plan kitchen is in tidy condition and well-maintained. A heat pump gets you warm quick, and a wood burner makes for an ideal cosy, toe-warming, evening. The generous separate laundry offers flexibility and even possibility to reconfigure indoor spaces. Ranch sliders open onto a covered veranda which runs the length of the house and connects to a newly paved footpath making for easy access to the spacious section. The exterior is ready for a fresh coat of paint, so new owners will be able to add their own personal touch. The house has been thoughtfully positioned on the lot, maximising the sense of space. A large garden shed, plus the dedicated firewood shed at the rear of the property, are welcome bonuses. Green-fingers will find themselves in heaven here with very little in the way of established plantings. The clean, completely level property provides a basis from which to create your own green oasis, with robust, private fencing against which to grow it. This home is ideal for young families or first-time owners with its convenient location within easy walking distance of the local school, shops, and public transport. A well-regarded secondary school, library, medical centre, chemist, and range of shops are just 2.5 km away in Helensville, while three major shopping centres are within half an hours’ drive. There’s plenty for youngsters to enjoy in Parakai with parks, pools, and a recreation reserve. Pop your hat in the ring on this one – it won’t sit for long and it could be yours.
