Description
Set on a 699m² section with a 177m² floor plan, this modern brick home delivers a practical layout, generous outdoor living and a setting that suits both everyday routines and relaxed weekends. Built solid and arranged on a single level, the home includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double internal-access garage, all positioned neatly within a growing neighbourhood.
Inside, the layout separates living zones in a way that gives flexibility. A central open-plan kitchen, dining and living area connects easily to the outdoors, while a second lounge offers a quieter option for evenings in or as a dedicated media room. Neutral finishes, tidy presentation and good natural flow make the spaces easy to live in from day one.
The kitchen is crisp and functional, with a large island bench, double sink, modern appliances and a walk-in pantry that keeps everything close at hand but out of sight. Sliding doors from the dining area open directly to the covered patio, extending the living space and making entertaining easy in any season.
Bedrooms are well placed for privacy. The master sits apart with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and outdoor access, while the remaining two bedrooms are serviced by a full family bathroom with both a shower and bath. A dedicated laundry, separate WC and good storage round out the interior.
Outside, the covered patio area becomes a true extension of the home, complete with outdoor furniture and views over established gardens and raised vegetable beds. The section is fully fenced and safe for kids or pets, and the driveway is wide and tidy.
Positioned within a modern Ngatea neighbourhood, the home sits close to the township’s main street shops and everyday services, with Ngatea Primary School and Hauraki Plains College nearby. The Hauraki Rail Trail and local sports grounds add outdoor appeal, while Thames is an easy drive for wider shopping, coastal access and regional connections.
