5 Tane Lane, Whakatāne

Peace and privacy are assured at this family-friendly property in the heart of Whakatāne.

Tane Lane, off Alexander Avenue, is a quiet place to live. With its park-like grounds and location near the end of the lane, Number 5 offers all the convenience and security of town living, but with the feeling of the country.

It is easy to forget you have neighbours when your living areas and bedrooms open onto a front yard with large expanses of lawn and beautiful gardens full of established trees and shrubs. This is about as private as it is possible to get in the middle of town.

For families, this property is ideal with four bedrooms, good garaging and plenty of room for children and pets to play on the 918-square-metre section.

There is a primary school and afterschool care facility down the road along with an early childhood centre.

The first thing prospective buyers will notice about this home is how light, bright and inviting it is. Built in the 1980s, it has architectual features common for era, including high, sloping wooden ceilings with exposed beams. These have been painted white in keeping with the rest of the neutral decor, giving the home a modern and spacious feel.

There are lots of windows to bring in the sun, and a ranchslider opens the large sunken lounge to the garden. Outdoor entertaining is well catered for, with a cobbled patio area beneath a covered pergola.

The living areas flow beautifully and from the lounge it is a step up to the modernised kitchen/dining area, which includes space for family dining as well as a window breakfast bar.

There is a large, internal access garage, which is also home to the laundry, an office room, separate toilet and family bathroom with bath and shower.

The two bedrooms on the northern face are super-sized and open to the garden. The master at the end of the house is an extension on the original floorplan and is a big room with a sloping ceiling, large open wardrobe and en suite with tiled, walk-in shower. The other two bedrooms are also good size doubles.

This home is the perfect blend of comfort, style and convenience. Whether you are looking for a family home or investment, it should not be overlooked.
