2/8 Toop Street, Havelock North, Hastings, Hawke's Bay

Seeking first home buyers, professionals and empty nesters, this home is ideal for those starting out or looking to downsize. Quirky and distinctive, it's ready for a refresh and the instructions are clear: disregard rateable values and estimates, as this home must be sold, with the elderly owner preparing to move on.

The floor plan offers an unconventional layout, perfect for buyers seeking something a little different from the ordinary. With flooring and carpets due for a refresh, this is your chance to add immediate value and bring your own style to the home. The lower level features open-plan living with a very tidy kitchen and bathroom, along with one bedroom. Take a few steps up to a landing with a study and hobby room. Then onto the upper level that creates a great setup for a flatmate or guest, complete with its own lounge, bedroom, and bathroom, making it ideal to offset the mortgage.

Step out onto the private balcony and enjoy the elevated outlook, perfect for a morning coffee or evening unwind. Outside, there's also a carport, workshop, and a peaceful patio tucked among the trees, offering a quiet place to relax. Off the kitchen is the outside laundry, a sunny deck with vegetable garden, and access to a storeroom or workshop.

Located close to the heart of Havelock North, you'll enjoy a nice walk to local cafés, shops, and parks in this well-established neighbourhood. The vendor is ready to move, so don't miss this opportunity.
