There is something refreshingly straightforward about this 1950s home. It has the character of its era, a practical three-bedroom layout on a 1,012m² section that gives you some serious room to work with.
For families, that backyard will be hard to ignore. There is space for children to play, room for veggie gardens and plenty of scope to make the outdoor area your own. The property is fully fenced, while dual driveways provide useful access and plenty of off-street parking.
Inside, the mid-century character remains, including timber floors, while some practical updates have already been taken care of. There has been wiring updates including a new fuse board, there is underfloor insulation and heat pumps provide everyday heating and cooling. The bathroom has also been updated, with a separate shower and bath, and two separate toilets make family life that little bit easier.
The separate kitchen remains largely original, giving the next owner the choice to use it as it is or modernise when the time is right. A separate laundry with external access adds another practical touch, while the single garage provides secure parking, storage or space for projects.
Location is a big part of the appeal here. Ōtaki School is approximately 130 metres away, Ōtaki College is under a kilometre from home, and Haruatai Park, sports clubs and the swimming pool are all close by. The township, supermarkets, cafes, medical centre and library are also within easy reach.
For first-home buyers in particular, this is a home you can settle into now and put your own stamp on over time, with a substantial section and a handy location already in place.
