139B Douglas Street
Whakatāne

PEACE, privacy and fabulous gardens await prospective owners at this newly-listed Douglas Street property.

Fresh on the market, the two-bedroom townhouse has much to offer first-home buyers, professional couples, small families and retirees looking to downsize.

Located towards the King Street end of Douglas Street, it is elevated and on a back section that affords it much privacy in comparison to its neighbour.

It has been home to its current owner for 20 years who has enjoyed living there and developing the large back yard into a flourishing wonderland of fruit trees, roses and other plantings. If not for now living outside of the district, she would not be selling.

The garden with its cobbled outdoor entertaining area will
be a huge drawcard for buyers, as will the home’s solid low-maintenance construction.

Built in the 1980s, it is brick with aluminium joinery. It has an internal access single garage and also plenty of off-street parking outside the home for family and visitors.

THIS is the back townhouse of two, both of which enjoy privacy from each other thanks to their clever design.

Number 139B takes prime position, set well back from the road. The front door opens onto a large open living area. The total floor area of this home is 110 square metres, which means it is a very spacious two-bedroom.

The semi-separate u-shape kitchen is large and well equipped with a large pantry,
plenty of cabinetry and benchspace.
Adjacent is an equally generous living-dining area with a ranchslider that opens to a paved courtyard overlooking the garden.

There is a large lawn area here for children and pets, plenty of established trees  including flourishing grape and passionfruit vines, citrus trees and even a banana. A lot of thought and effort has been ploughed into this section over the years.
Back inside, the house retains much of its early character including dark stained skirting boards and doors, and shagpile carpet in the lounge. Keep it or change it, the choice yours.

This home has been well maintained and would be very easy to modernise. Alternatively, new owners  might choose to further advance the 70s/80s vibe.

There are two large sunny bedrooms off the central hallway, both with double wardrobes, and a family-size bathroom.

The internal access garage is off the living
areas and includes a large laundry/utility room at the rear with a door to outside.

This townhouse is move-in ready, so cashed up buyers could make it theirs very easily and quickly.

• Gorgeous established gardens
• Family-friendly location
• Two large bedrooms
• Fully fenced and private
