With a primary school, secondary school and kindergarten within a few minute’s walk, this character home in central Whakatāne is ideal for families.
Investors will likely recognise the location potential here too, with the property also close to both the Kopeopeo shopping centre and the CBD.
Built in the 1940s, the weatherboard bungalow retains some character features from the period, such as its wooden joinery, but the interior design and styling has been updated to reflect modern expectations of open plan living and easy indoor-outdoor flow.
The living areas are north facing and flow beautifully from lounge through to dining and a comtemporary kitchen. It is light, sunny and has a comfortable, inviting feel.
The dining room opens to a large entertainer’s deck overlooking a back yard that includes a mix of hard court – perfect for kiddies on bikes and skateboards—and lawn with low-maintenance border gardens. The yard is fully fenced, so safe for pets and children.
There are three bedrooms, all good size rooms with storage, and a family bathroom.
Parking is plentiful with uncovered off-street parking at the front of the house and a double garage at the back with parking outside.
At the back of the garage, there is a large room with kitchenette that could be used as a home office, hobby room or fourth bedroom.
This property will have broad appeal and is perfectly priced for first-time buyers, investors or anyone, in fact. It is not expected to last long on the market.
