Here’s a two-bedroom cutie that is perfectly situated within walking distance to the CBD.

Built in the 1950s, the weatherboard cottage with large deck has been much loved by its owner for the past 25 years.

Like all homes of this era, it is solidly built from native timber and is full of character, just waiting to be enhanced further.

The 90-square-metre house has recently enjoyed an exterior paint so is looking fresh for its new owners.

With that big job complete, prospective buyers can focus their thoughts on the potential that exists within – paint the walls, polish the timber floors, put down some new carpet and this place would be transformed.

There is already a modern kitchen in place and the house enjoys great indoor-outdoor flow with the open plan kitchen/dining area opening to a large deck overlooking the front garden.

The spacious lounge with its stunning native timber floors and joinery also opens to the deck via French doors. The living areas are at the front of the house and filled with sun for much of the day.

There’s a wet floor bathroom, a separate laundry and a single garage tucked in behind the house. The section is a manageable size and well planted with fruit trees and shrubs.

Town is just 700 metres away, there is a popular kohanga reo down the road and it’s an easy stroll to cafes, restaurants, the Whakatāne River and The Heads.
