There's something immediately welcoming about this classic Kiwi weatherboard home. Freshly painted inside, with the gardens tidied and looking lovely, this much-loved Taradale property is ready for its next chapter. Once a first and family home, and more recently a solid investment, there's plenty here for the next owners to enjoy.

The heart of the home is a real favourite. Beautiful timber floors run through the open-plan kitchen and dining area, with windows bringing in plenty of natural light and French doors opening out to the pergola-covered deck. It's a lovely space for family life, with room to gather around the table, open the doors through summer and enjoy easy indoor-outdoor living. The generous lounge offers plenty of space to spread out, with a fireplace for the cooler months, while a separate deck and potential BBQ area off the dining room gives you another spot to enjoy the outdoors. The fully fenced grounds are ideal for children and pets.

Three bedrooms sit off the central hallway, along with a family bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower, separate toilet, dedicated laundry and good storage throughout. The updated kitchen with double Dish Drawer is another practical bonus, as is the standalone garage.

There's plenty more to appreciate too, with ceiling and underfloor insulation, an HRV system, whole-house water filtration and Infinity gas hot water, all adding to the comfort and practicality of everyday living.

And then there's the location. Taradale has always been a firm favourite with families, with excellent schooling for all ages within walking distance, and the village, parks and everyday amenities close by.

With its fresh new presentation, generous living spaces and fantastic location, there's a lot to like here. Whether you're looking for your first home, somewhere to raise a family or a well-positioned investment, we'd love to show you through.
