37 Peter Snell Road, Ruakaka, Whangarei, Northland, 0116, New Zealand

With petrol prices escalating what better time to buy a home from which you can literally walk everywhere.

Make tracks to the shopping centre and hub of Ruakaka, Bream Bay, cafés, takeaways, supermarkets big and small, a medical centre, a stationery shop and more, all less than a kilometre away.

Start off your day with a beach walk or finish it off with a swim, the luxury of being surrounded by water is the variety of choice, river or sand and surf, living the dream.

This three bedroom family home has a no fuss open plan living area with a well-appointed kitchen which leads through to a separate laundry.

A thoughtful bonus is the combination bathroom and another separate toilet.

This property has had a comprehensive facelift which cleverly includes decking from the front door to the standalone fully lined and insulated garage/sleepout.

The backyard is private, and the property fully fenced.

What a fabulous retreat to come home to after a day at work or play.
