2D Buckland Road, Tuakau, Franklin, Auckland

A 2-bedroom brick exterior freehold home, situated just a short walk to the local Primary school, with the intermediate and high school just a few minutes more. This suits a variety of buyers, including first-home buyers, investors individuals on their own, or retired persons with room for perhaps a small dog. The home is located in an enclave of seven others, comprising a mix of investor and private ownership.

The natural timber tones and contemporary updates, such as the wall-mounted heater, combine to create a space that’s both rustic and refined.

The kitchen’s U-shaped layout is a standout, beautifully panelled in native-style wood with light counter-tops and a breakfast bar for prepping school lunches. It flows easily into the dining and lounge areas, where soft light filters through the large sliding doors, connecting you effortlessly to the private outdoor deck where you can kick a ball, fire up the barbecue, or simply soak in the evenings.

Both bedrooms are light-filled, offering good space and peaceful outlooks. The bathroom carries through that signature timber warmth, featuring crisp white vanity, delivering both function and a bit of flair. A separate shower, a bathtub that serves as a welcome detail for those with little ones, or a long soak after work.

Outside, there’s a tidy lawn for your furry friend or veggie garden, plus a single car park and a sense of seclusion that’s hard to come by in town living. The garage back door also has access to a utility shed for storage.

A 10-minute stroll from the Tuakau village shopping centre, and only a short distance to the hub of Pukekohe, the Waikato river playground and famous west coast beaches at Port Waikato, this home offers a warm welcome and perfectly balances practicality with a touch of polish.

Humble homes full of warmth, privacy and that feel-good factor like this one, don't stay long. Get in touch with Gary Noakes and Caitlin Schneider to view!
