Overview

A Dream Home Come True

Anyone living in Whakatane in 2007 may remember watching with interest as the Mitre 10 Dream Home television series came to town, with two homes built at the Bridge Street end of Awatapu Drive. Number 22 was the winning home, and nearly two decades later, it is still easy to see why. Architecturally impressive and designed with family living in mind, this three bedroom, one bathroom home combines striking aesthetics, generous proportions and fantastic indoor outdoor living. Add your own inground swimming pool, and you have a property made for enjoying the Whakatane summer. North facing living spaces are bathed in natural sunlight, creating a home that feels warm, bright and welcoming throughout the day. The spacious open plan kitchen, dining and lounge form the heart of the home, with excellent flow through to a large covered deck. This sheltered outdoor living area provides the perfect setting for summer BBQs, entertaining friends or simply relaxing while overlooking the pool. The in ground swimming pool is an undeniable highlight. Positioned alongside the outdoor living areas, it creates a fantastic environment for long summer days and balmy evenings, with the covered deck providing somewhere to relax out of the sun while remaining connected to all the action. Inside, all three bedrooms are generously proportioned and offer excellent storage. The master bedroom has a powder room, while the family bathroom includes a separate shower, separate bath and toilet. A compact office positioned in the heart of the home provides a practical work from home space while keeping you connected with everyday family life. Year round comfort is well catered for with excellent heating and cooling, complemented by a gas fire for cosy evenings at home. Outside, the fully fenced section provides privacy and security, while phenomenal off street parking and excellent internal access garaging offer plenty of space for vehicles and everyday practicality. Beautifully presented and packed with features, 22 Awatapu Drive offers far more than the average three bedroom home. From its Dream Home history and impressive architecture to its sunny north facing living, covered entertaining deck and swimming pool, this is a property designed to be lived in and enjoyed. The Dream Home title was won here in 2007. Now it could be yours.
