3 Albert Street, Hawera, South Taranaki, Taranaki

A smart little number with plenty of sunshine, this 80sqm brick home proves you don’t need size to have style or comfort. Built in 1993 and neatly maintained, it’s the kind of home that simply gets on with the job: aluminium joinery for easy care, infinity hot water, and open-plan living that makes the most of every inch.

The layout is straightforward and sensible. Two bedrooms, a warm and welcoming living area with heatpump, and a tidy kitchen that keeps the day-to-day simple. Step outside and things get even better: a separate single garage, an easy to maintain garden complete with a friendly neighbourhood.

Set on a no-exit street, this address offers peace, privacy and that rare sense of being tucked away without being out of the way.

A solid, sunny, no-nonsense home with good bones and good vibes. Hard to fault, and hard to find.
