What's around 157 River Road

Peaceful Outlook, Practical Potential in Kawerau

Set right across from a park with river walks and beautiful views, this property is full of potential and ready for someone to bring it to life. Positioned on a generous section, this larger home offers three bedrooms, including a master with ensuite. There's a separate lounge with a woodfire to keep things cosy through winter. The large kitchen and dining area give you plenty of space to work with, and two of the bedrooms open out to a private back deck. It's a great spot to relax, catch the sun, or enjoy the quiet surroundings. With classic stone cladding, a separate single garage, and a layout that just makes sense, this home has good bones.

Helpful, Friendly, Understanding

Right from the get go Aaron was very warm and welcoming when myself and family were looking for a home to buy. We explained our situation to him and he was very accommodating to our every need and our budget that we were looking at. Even tho we were new to the housing game Aaron helped us every step of the way, from giving us different inspectors to use along with there contact details right to making sure that the house was open and even offered us to be apart of every process that was required.

Exemplary

I have bought and sold a few homes in my time and I have found that Aaron‘s integrity and service has just been beyond outstanding. There were a few things that he had to deal with because I live in the South Island and couldn’t be at the property,but he didn’t hesitate to say he would go and deal with any issues. I can not recommend Aaron highly enough. He is just a very professional and caring agent. Many thanks and good wishes for the future.
