10 Clarke Avenue, Te Aroha, Matamata-Piako, Waikato

Immaculately maintained, largely original, and tightly held for over half a century, this 918sqm property, complete with a swimming pool, stands ready for those who value authenticity and opportunity. Set against a backdrop of mountain views, the floor plan remains true to its time, with defined living spaces and a layout typical of the period. Décor and detailing follow suit, appealing to those who value its integrity as much as the potential to modernise. The kitchen holds its place in time, with an adjoining room that lends itself to dining, office use or a future scullery. Decades-old additions to the lounge and dining areas extended the home's proportions, offering more room now and a natural pathway for anyone considering a shift to open-plan living. Two double bedrooms& one single are supported by a classic bathroom with a shower-over-bath, a separate laundry with an additional shower, and a discreet second toilet added to the main bedroom. A gas fire, heat pump and air conditioning in the master ensure the home keeps in step with modern comfort without losing its original character. Amongst the expansive grounds, summertime living is locked in with the swimming pool, enjoyed by three generations, and still holding its place at the centre of outdoor entertaining. A patio extends life outside, while the carport, single garage and adjoining workshop or studio shed provide space for tools, projects or storage. Positioned within easy reach of Te Aroha College and Stanley Avenue School, this is a home for first-time buyers or project hunters who recognise the value in permanence, proportion, and potential.
