Overview

Comfort & Potential Combined

Set on a generous 1012m² section on the west side of Rakaia Township close to amenities, this solid circa 1955 brick and roughcast home offers space, comfort, and future potential, all within close proximity to local amenities. The home features two spacious bedrooms, both with built-in storage, along with an additional extra room ideal for a home office, hobby space, or guest accommodation. The home is open plan, creating an easy flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Over the past 12 months, the property has been thoughtfully refreshed with new interior paint throughout and new lino to the bathroom and separate toilet, giving the home a clean, modern feel while retaining its original character. The kitchen has been updated with newly painted cabinetry and new handles, and includes an electric stove, range hood, and new dishwasher. The laundry is neatly tucked away within a cupboard in the kitchen, maximising space and functionality. Comfort is ensured year-round with a new 7.0kW heat pump, complemented by a log burner with new fire surround for added warmth and ambience. Additional upgrades include a new mains pressure hot water cylinder, and the property has been reroofed within the last 10 years. Outside, the fully usable section offers excellent extras including a tandem garage, an approx. 20m² shed, multiple storage and woodsheds, established landscaping, a new front fence, and a spa pool for relaxing and entertaining. The home features mostly single glazed wooden windows and with aluminium single glazed window and sliding door to the extra room. With its large section and subdivision potential (subject to council consent), this well-maintained property presents an outstanding opportunity for homeowners, investors, or developers alike.
