Living on the fringe of Rotorua's Sunnybrook suburb, there is a sense of life in the country, thanks to the open expanse of rolling farmland across the road. Reserves and the local playground are around the corner, while the netball centre, international stadium and golf course aren't far away either. Recreation is part of life.
Upgrades in this home have introduced contemporary styling in the key kitchen and bathroom areas. It also provides choice. The basement has been renovated into a spacious bedsit lounge and adjoining bathroom. Created by these owners as a teen haunt, teens in other families will no doubt want to put their dibs on this private space as well.
Given the space, it does offers thoughts for a workplace, however. With its own access and off-street parking, work can be kept away from family life above, while staying connected at the same time.
There are three more bedrooms upstairs, along with a family bathroom. Styled with a fashionable freestanding bath, vanity and shower, the black and white contrasts add a chic tone to the decor, while a separate powder room enhances family convenience.
It's also nice to see defined living spaces - a separate kitchen, where cooks can do their own thing in peace, while connected with the lounge at the same time. Modern styling provides good storage, workspace and quality appliances. Dining shares this area before moving into the lounge. Spacious, with a gabled ceiling, this room streams in natural light with glazing that also frames charming views outdoors. Both the dining area and lounge slip out to a grandstand balcony to offer elevated views around the neighbourhood and hills beyond.
A generous section gives playground room at the rear for the youngsters and pets - safety assured with full fencing. A separate double garage gives its own choices - parking for vehicles, a workshop or possible gym. There is already good off-street parking here, but certainly potential to develop more, if needed.
A home with good bones and the key areas already upgraded, there is still scope to do more with this home - and its garden. This is relatively a blank canvas right now - landscaped for easy care, but an open invitation for green thumbs to get stuck in.
While close to nature, walking trails and recreation around the area, this home is also with easy reach of the local superette and Westbrook School. Access to main arterials gives good links down into Rotorua Central or main highways out of town as well. Family-friendly is the go-to feature here, but the flexible layout and sunny aspect does widen the appeal - be it work-from-home or a home with possible income.
And, with an asking price stated up front, this property gives a clear indication for buyers.
