22 Orrs Road, Kaikohe, Far North, Northland

This stand-alone two-bedroom house captures all that is good about houses of this era; the terracotta tile roof, the easy-care 818 metre square (more or less) section, plum and nectarine trees, an extra room for storage or an office, and easy off-street parking.

Tucked off the road with the added security of the house behind, once you are inside, you feel like you're in your own little world.

Standing at the kitchen sink, there is a pleasant view overlooking the Cycle track with hills in the distance. This literally is the heart of the home - big enough to put a dining table here, and enough space to upgrade the kitchen significantly in the future. The lounge is separate, and with the installation of an upgraded in-built fireplace or heat pump, the whole house would be quite toasty with that work complete.

Make no bones about it, as a deceased estate, this house will definitely require some upgrading, but is livable as it stands. There is an upgraded meter board, a shower over the tub, a separate toilet, and a large room situated on the back deck, which is used as a laundry and storage room.

A great little starter home, or an affordable rental property (dependent on being upgraded to Healthy Homes criteria) for a first-time investor. I would urge you to come and take a look to experience what this property could offer you.
