21 Anderson Street, Putaruru, South Waikato, Waikato

A family will be instantly drawn to this sunny, versatile home at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within easy walking distance of town. The child-friendly location offers a good sense of safety, and the elevation of the property captures a picturesque outlook. The deck is the perfect spot to gaze across the neighbouring rooftops and bask in the sun.

This multi-level home is cleverly carved into the contour of a 979sqm (more or less) section. The driveway sweeps into large double basement garaging with internal access to the first floor where there is space galore for entertaining and everyone's activities. Great for families, the spacious lounge encourages sociable living and makes being together all round easier. The deck is a natural extension, serving as an extra living and dining area over summer. The new kitchen is a foodie's haven well equipped for hosting with plenty of bench space. Guests can sit and chat at the breakfast bar, and children can use it as a homework station.

Bedrooms are spacious, restful sanctuaries serviced by a big bathroom. One bedroom even has a mezzanine which is an ideal hang-out zone for kids and their friends. Teens can retreat to their own area downstairs off the garage, which has the flexibility to be used as an office or storage room also. Other features include a guest toilet, space for a heatpump dryer in the laundry area and a large formal entrance-way.

Timber ceilings and leafy views give this character home back-to-nature aesthetics. High ceilings and a slew of windows attract oodles of light while a woodburner and two new heat pumps keep the interior ambient all-year round. Storage is in ample supply and off-street parking is plentiful.

A reinvigoration of the pool will set a family up for the summer days ahead while a clean-up of the section, which the vendors are willing to contribute towards at settlement, will further reveal this peaceful homes potential.
