20BU8 Church Street, Te Aroha, Matamata-Piako, Waikato

Set in a peaceful pocket of Te Aroha where the neighbours know everyone's name, this tidy two-bedroom unit is as easy-care as they come. Inside you'll find a layout that just works - an original kitchen with room to add your flair, a wet-floor bathroom, and a separate lounge that flows to a sunny little sunroom made for morning coffees and afternoon naps. There's even parking right by the door, because who wants to lug the groceries any further than necessary? Everything's within strolling distance - town, the medical centre, the domain, and all those lovely walking tracks that make Te Aroha what it is. This one's got 'simple living' written all over it - so if you've been waiting for an excuse to downsize your to-do list, this is it.
