Only just completed in 2024, this beautifully finished home delivers a modern lifestyle with a refreshingly low-maintenance edge, perfectly nestled amongst stunning established gardens in a village celebrated for its historic origins. Step inside and the appeal is immediate. An open plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the social heart of the home - light, inviting, and perfectly designed for everyday living. Large doors open seamlessly onto a fantastic east-facing covered deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow and a sunny spot to entertain or unwind amidst the garden setting. There are three double bedrooms, two with sliders opening directly onto the deck and the master bedroom its own ensuite. Warmth and energy efficiency are front of mind, with double glazing, insulation in the ceilings, walls and underfloor, a heat pump, and gas hot water. Outside, the 1,168m2 section is simply divine. Beautifully planted, the gardens create a private, picturesque setting while remaining remarkably easy care. There are two rainwater collection tanks with filtration system, a single carport, and a garden shed. Life in Tikokino is something special. One of Central Hawke's Bay's historic villages, it's a place where community is strong, the pace of life is relaxed, and neighbours know each other by name. The village is home to a well-regarded primary school and a popular country tavern, both central to the social fabric of the community. Despite its peaceful rural setting, you're still well connected to the wider region - Waipawa and Waipukurau are just a short drive away for shopping, services, and secondary schooling, while Hastings is comfortably within commuting distance for work, dining, and the wider attractions of Hawke's Bay. This is easy care village living done exceptionally well!
