There’s something instantly special about this bungalow from the crisp weatherboard exterior and rich red trim to the welcoming porch that catches the morning sun. The lounge fills with natural light through leadlight bay windows, while a Woodsman log burner and heat-transfer system keep things cosy through winter. French doors open to a sunny deck, perfect for enjoying the afternoon refreshment or summer barbecues with friends. Beautifully refreshed from the ground up, the home has been repainted externally. The piles have recently been checked and levelled and the house rewired. The roof has also recently been restored, treated and painted. Most of the hard work has been done. The kitchen is bright and functional, with brand-new Bosch appliances ready for installation and full redesign plans, if desired.

Set on a fully fenced half-acre (2,023sqm more or less) section, there’s plenty of space to play, garden, or relax under mature fruiting trees. The approximate 8m x 10m powered double garage and workshop, along with an extra room, add great flexibility for hobbies or working from home.

Across the road, a large park adds to the family-friendly appeal, and you're just a short walk to town for cafés, shops, and schools. With Mount Ruapehu and Tongariro National Park under an hour away, weekends will be full of adventure.

Whether you're a first-home buyer looking for value, a family needing space, or someone ready to slow the pace and enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle, this is a home that feels right and with added potential for subdivision (due diligence and Council consent required).
