Perched at the very top of Kahiwi Street, adjoining Raumanga Heights Drive, 1/45 Kahiwi Street presents a smart investment opportunity with views that set it apart from the competition. At this entry-level price point, it is rare to find a property with an outlook stretching from Mt Parihaka across Whangārei Harbour and all the way to Whangārei Heads, a feature that adds real tenant appeal.
Previously rented at $580 per week, the property already has proven rental performance and is Healthy Homes compliant, giving investors confidence from day one.
When the current owner first walked in, the condition and the incredible view sealed the deal. And it is easy to see why. Upstairs, high timber ceilings create warmth and character, adding volume to the open plan living and dining area and making the space feel even larger than you would expect. The home is in tidy, original condition, offering plenty of scope to add value over time. But what stands out most is the feeling. There is a homely, comfortable atmosphere here that no renovation can manufacture. It is genuine.
Spread over three levels, the layout is both practical and surprisingly spacious. There are two bedrooms, an office, one bathroom and a single carport. For a two-bedroom home, the sense of space is impressive. There is a large laundry, excellent storage throughout and even a charming under-stairs nook that brings back memories of childhood hideaways. Outside, the established garden and abundant grapevine add colour, character and a real sense of care.
Recent, thoughtful updates have been made, including the addition of a kitchen extractor fan and a heat pump in the lounge to meet Healthy Homes standards. The previous owner, who lived here for around 20 years, was passionate about gardening and that love is still evident today.
The location is convenient, with Raumanga Falls, Otaika shops, Four Square, NorthTec and Bunnings all close by, plus a bus stop just a few houses over
Now, with plans to build a home, the owner is ready to pass this property on. If you are looking for space, views and the opportunity to add your own touch at an entry level price point, 1/45 Kahiwi Street is well worth your time.
