11 Norrie Street, Kawerau, Bay Of Plenty

Some houses get a lick of paint and call it a day. This one didn't mess about, it went all the way!

Almost every inch of this home has been stripped back and done properly - new wiring, new plumbing (including gas califont), fresh paint inside and out, a brand new kitchen with pantry and space for a huge fridge, and bathroom with a massive shower ready for you to enjoy. New flooring runs right through, so there's nothing left to "do" - just move in, unpack, and get on with life. Anyone who's tried to find a beautifully renovated house in Kawerau will know that’s basically the property equivalent of finding a park right out front of the supermarket on a rainy day!

The house has three good size bedrooms, one bathroom, a separate toilet (because queuing for the bathroom before the day has even begun is nobody's idea of a ‘good’ morning), a heat pump to keep you warm, eat-in kitchen area and a spacious laundry to keep the washing under control.

Out back, the double garage has had a proper refresh too - new cladding, new roofing, new roller doors, and reframed where it needed it, all restoring it to full working order. And it’s massive too - plenty of space for the vehicles plus a workshop area at the back, exactly the kind of thing that gets ticked off wish lists fast around here.

The big, fully fenced section brings its own perks - easy access and off street parking, so there's room for the boat, the caravan, or just a driveway full of bikes, depending on which stage of life you're at. Retirees settling in between trips, families setting up camp for good, either way, there's space to spread out. It's a blank canvas out there, whether you're picturing a pool, veggie beds for a bit of self-sufficiency, or just a big open lawn, there's room to make it whatever you want it to be. In the meantime, it's a great place for the dog and kids to run amok.

Kawerau itself is one of the Bay's best-kept secrets. A friendly, close-knit town sitting right beneath Mount Putauaki, with wide streets and solid infrastructure from its purpose-built beginnings. You've got the free geothermal hot pools, the Tarawera River for kayaking and fishing, and the valley walking tracks all on your doorstep, plus schools, shops, and everyday services close by. It's also become a magnet for retirees chasing affordability and easy living, alongside first home buyers and families, all without giving up access to the bigger centres: Whakatane's about 30 minutes away, Rotorua around 45, and Tauranga and Mount Maunganui under an hour.

Whether you're starting out, raising a family, or settling in for a slower pace of life, this is the kind of place that ticks all the boxes - all the hard work done, none of the reno stress, just a solid, beautifully renovated home ready for whatever's next. And with settlement available straight away, there's nothing standing between you and moving in. The vendor is motivated and wants this house sold!
