98A Victoria Street, Hawera, South Taranaki, Taranaki

Located on a private back section in one of the town’s most sought-after streets, this 1970s three-bedroom home offers a unique chance to secure an affordable property in a premium location. Whether you’re a first-home buyer, investor, or out-of-town purchaser seeking a quieter lifestyle, this home presents wide appeal with plenty of opportunity.

Constructed with a mix of vertical wooden boards and rustic board and batten cladding, the home has stood the test of time, with the re-clad southern and rear elevations in excellent condition. While some weathering is visible on the lower eastern side, the property remains a good example for this price range. Recent upgrades include a new roof, with the western side replaced a few years ago and the eastern side updated within the last two years.

Inside, you’ll find a renovated, tidy bathroom, aluminium joinery, and a separate laundry conveniently located behind the single attached garage.

Set back from the street, this home offers privacy and shelter from the bustle of Victoria Street while remaining close to the town square and all amenities. The concrete floor construction adds durability, and the easy-care section provides a blank canvas for landscaping or further improvements.

Affordable homes in this location are rare and with the added appeal to both local and national buyers seeking a slice of South Taranaki’s peaceful lifestyle, this property is sure to attract attention. Rental estimate: $450-$470 per week.
