This home is so central that if you cross the road, you will find yourself at the medical centre. All within four minutes of your doorstep is your essential shopping, including the chemist; two supermarkets; the council offices; the library and the post office. Also nearby there are fantastic eateries, hairdressers, gift shops and many more central local businesses. If you like your coffee, there are great cafes close.

Fully fenced with a double lockable garage, this three-bedroom home boasts open planned living, warmed by a closed wood fire and retro fitted double glazing. The owner put in the work, rewired the home, added a new switchboard, repainted some interiors and has a Healthy Homes certification. Positioned facing North, the family area floods with midday sun. It has a separate toilet and self-contained laundry. The generous decking allows for outdoor entertainment, pot plants or for children to play. Sit outside and have a BBQ in the sun? Or stroll over to Te Kapua Park and shoot a hoop, swim at the Turtle Pools or let the kids lose in the two playgrounds.

Built of solid 60s weatherboard, this reliable property is currently rented for $450 p/w with rental management in place. Now that is a sensible investment. It is also fit for a first home. It may be great for granny - as all amenities are so close, she might not even need a car. Call today to book a viewing and get your own property on the doorstep of Turangi town centre.
