48 Joyces Road, Paihia, Far North District 0200, Northland

One of Paihia’s grand ladies has been given a new life, and now needs new owners too! Spread over three floors, she sparkles in the Paihia sunlight, with good bush views all around. The ground floor is currently used as tourist accommodation, with the owners occupying the tastefully decorated middle floor. Upstairs again, and with separate entry, is a fully self contained flat – and all three levels are connected by an elevator.

There’s tons of parking, loads of privacy and an elegant way of life awaiting. A new roof on both house and carport just adds to the value. And the gardens – a wonderfully peaceful environment full of birdsong.
