Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, 11 Ratima Place, offers the perfect balance of space, comfort, and opportunity.
Whether you’re stepping onto the property ladder, looking for a family-friendly home, or considering an investment, this property is ready to meet your needs with plenty of potential to add value and make it your own.

Set on a 715-square-metre section, the home makes a welcoming first impression. The low-maintenance exterior and established front lawn set the tone for what lies inside—a solid, practical property with scope for easy, low-cost modernisation.

Step through the front door and you’ll find a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area, filled with natural light, thanks to large windows on both sides.

A striking pitched ceiling with exposed beams enhances the sense of space, while a woodburner fireplace ensures the home stays cosy during the cooler months.

A ranchslider opens to a sunny deck and verandah, the ideal spot for morning coffee or watching the kids play in the back yard.

The home’s kitchen is modern and functional, with plenty of bench and cupboard space, and lots of natural light. It flows easily to the dining and living areas.

Off the central hallway there are three double bedrooms, all generously sized with plenty of natural light. Two bedrooms overlook the back garden.

The bathroom is practical, offering both a bath and a separate shower, while a separate toilet adds convenience for busy households. A good-sized laundry room at the front door completes the interior.

Outside, the fully fenced backyard will be a drawcard for families. There’s ample lawn space for children and pets to enjoy, established citrus trees, room for garden beds or landscaping projects, a children’s playhouse and sandpit.

Outside storage is plentiful with a garden shed and a single-plus garage with workshop space. Off-street parking is also well catered.

Ratima Place is a quiet street with a friendly mix of families and older residents, tenants and homeowners. Schools, shops, and amenities are just a short drive away, while Whakatāne’s town centre, riverside walkways, and beaches are within easy reach.

This property has been a family home and more recently a rental, and offers a good return on investment. For homeowners, it represents an affordable entry into the
market, with solid bones and plenty of
potential to add value through renovation or cosmetic updates.

With its combination of space, comfort, and opportunity, this is a home that will appeal to a range of buyers.
