19 Cobham Lane, Whitianga, Thames-Coromandel, Waikato

Tucked down a private right of way, this home is one of those properties that truly surprises you. From the driveway it may seem modest, but the moment you step inside, the space opens up beautifully - bright, inviting, and wonderfully private without feeling closed in. You’re welcomed through a covered porch and into a large open-plan living area. Raked ceilings draw your eye up, enhancing the sense of space throughout the home. The lounge features a gas fire, perfect for cosy evenings, while the kitchen offers excellent, easy-to-access storage, a brand-new oven, and subtle timber shelving that adds a touch of character. Throughout the home, handcrafted timber internal doors add a unique warmth and individuality you don’t often find. Bifold doors off the main living areas create seamless indoor–outdoor flow, opening out to the deck and the generous lawn that wraps around the home. There’s even a covered dining zone just off the kitchen, with screens at both ends so you can enjoy it all year round. The home offers four bedrooms — or three plus a study. The master comes with an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, and its own access to the deck and lawn. The fourth bedroom is currently used as an office but includes a wardrobe, giving you flexibility depending on your lifestyle. There’s also a family bathroom with a separate toilet for convenience. Thoughtful storage throughout the home ensures everything has its place. Outside, the section is a real gem: easy-care gardens, established trees, planter boxes, a small garden shed, a greenhouse, and even a powered cubby - the perfect hideaway for kids or teens. The garage is functional, with internal access, attic storage with flooring and lighting, and the laundry conveniently located at the back. Location is a real bonus here. A special walkway easement on the title provides direct pedestrian access to Albert Street, making it just a 500-metre walk to town. With access virtually through your back gate and perfectly positioned between the shops and the school, it’s an ideal spot for families - almost like having town at your back door.
