19 Rakino Drive, Kerepehi, Hauraki, Waikato

Step inside this welcoming 1950s-character home — a solid weatherboard beauty that has clearly stood the test of time. Set on a generous 819m² (more or less) section, this property offers great space, comfort, & charm in a peaceful village setting.

The home’s personality shines the moment you walk in. Easy-care lino features in the kitchen, transitioning to natural timber flooring through the lounge, hallway & bedrooms, adding warmth & character. Spacious & practical, the kitchen also includes a large pantry, electric stove, rangehood, great storage, & a cleverly integrated laundry cupboard. A ranch slider from the kitchen opens to a sunny deck — a lovely spot to sit and relax. Updates including custom-made wooden benchtops & shelving seamlessly blend with the classic era of the home.

The kitchen connects easily to the lounge, complete with polished floors, an open fireplace for cosy winter nights, & a heat pump for year-round comfort.

Down the hall are three double bedrooms & one single (previously the separate laundry, easily converted back if a fourth bedroom isn’t required). The other bedrooms are generous in size, & all include wardrobes. A separate toilet adds everyday convenience, & the bathroom includes a vanity & a shower-over-bath. The house is insulated top and bottom, enhancing comfort & appeal.

Outside, the property offers open lawn spaces front & back, established fruit trees, & plenty of room to bring your garden ideas to life. An oversized single garage with workshop space sits at the rear with easy driveway access.

Located in a thriving, expanding village, you’ll enjoy the feel of rural living while still being just 7 minutes from Ngatea & in zone for the well-regarded Hauraki Plains College. A fantastic opportunity for first-home buyers, families, or investors seeking a solid, character-filled home with room to grow.
