You’ll find more than initially meets the eye at 1 Owen Road in Kawerau. The American barn-style home redefines the concept of space and flexibility, providing a modern three-bedroom home with substantial shed space.
Whether you’re after storage for multiple vehicles – or have a business to accommodate – this property delivers the space without compromising the quality of the accompanying accommodation.
There is approximately 50 square metres of garaging alongside a home of more than 85sqm.
It was built locally by Shed Boss, with the original owners later adding a third bedroom upstairs. Its current owner has given the home and garden a massive makeover in the past four years, transforming it into a beautifully presented and every comfortable home.
Step inside and you’ll instantly appreciate the sense of light and volume of the open plan kitchen, dining and living area. The seamless flow of this bright, warm space extends outdoors through sliding doors that lead to a covered patio – an inviting spot for morning coffee or relaxed entertaining with family and friends.
On the ground floor, there are two spacious bedrooms, complemented by a modern bathroom that features a large separate shower along with integrated laundry facilities.
Upstairs, a third bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, home office or retreat; with views across the park and hills.
For year-round comfort, the home is equipped with a fireplace, three heat pumps, double glazing, and insulation.
But what truly sets this home apart is its oversized, high-stud internal access garage – an exceptional feature that goes beyond conventional expectations.
With enough clearance to accommodate a motorhome, boat, or caravan, and a mezzanine level for additional storage, this versatile area opens up a world of possibilities. It can serve as a workshop, studio, hobby haven, or simply a place to store all your toys. Additionally, two concrete pads provide extra parking on the fully fenced section.
The property sits on a 661 square metre section on the corner of Owen Road and
Beattie Road – a great area of Kawerau in which to live – with access provided from both sides.
As well as creating an inviting atmosphere inside, the current owner has put her green thumbs to work outside with beautifully planted gardens that are aesthetically pleasing and contain an abundance of fruit trees, including feijoa, citrus, plum, and grapes.
Just next door lies Hilldale Reserve, an extension of your backyard, perfect for
leisurely walks, picnics, or family playtime.
With the convenience of town only five minutes away, this property balances the tranquillity of semi-rural living with the accessibility of urban amenities.
