It’s easy to go with the flow when you live with a river meandering below your home, when the light on the water is ever changing and you can even check the traffic into the city by gazing down the river from your peaceful place above it.

Solidly built in brick and cedar, this warm comfortable home on its acre plus was one of the original properties in this lush green enclave above the Wairoa River. It has been lovingly maintained for over 30 years by the owner who built it, with some upgrading completed including stone benches, fresh tiling and new Bosch oven in the kitchen and a fresh family bathroom. Designed to maximise exposure to the curve of the river and the bridge beyond, the home spreads its open plan living, expansive lounge and master suite along the north/west aspect with ample doors to covered outdoor living. Bedrooms are well spaced and there is an office off the foyer. Double garaging is generous with extra storage.

The mesmerizing river view is your foreground for relaxing inside and out, pottering or playing in the garden where established trees shade you, banks of shrubs flourish and grassy paths lead you to the riverside plateau for watery fun.

Blokes who like workshops and owners of boats or motorhomes will love the bonus of a high stud shed of some 70 square metres, exceptionally light and airy for a shed and a decent distance from the main house.

Appreciate elevation for outlook and your own river access below, discreet but friendly neighbours, peace and privacy with city proximity…just five minutes to Bethlehem Town Centre. Easy access for education and city careers and close to local cycle trails
