Property details

Listing # BU228085 | Listed on 27 August

Tucked privately away from the road on a beautifully landscaped 833 m2 freehold section, this extensively renovated 1983 bungalow offers a combination rarely found in Awapuni: approximately 216 m2 of spacious, single-level living, multiple living areas, three bedrooms with genuine fourth-bedroom potential, two bathrooms and outstanding outdoor space.

Lovingly upgraded by owners who intended to keep this substantial home in their family, it is now ready for its next chapter. Freshly painted inside and out, with new carpet, vinyl flooring and curtains throughout, the home combines character, comfort and modern practicality. The refreshed kitchen features newly painted cabinetry, new sink and tapware, electric cooking and a new rangehood, while character-style chandeliers and renewed timber finishes add warmth and personality.

The versatile floorplan offers three bedrooms, including a generous primary bedroom with its own ensuite, plus a large additional room enclosed by attractive wooden sliding doors. Perfect as a fourth bedroom, guest suite, home office, media room, teenage retreat or second lounge, this flexibility is a real standout. Even configured as a fourth bedroom, there are still two exceptionally generous living areas, complemented by a sunny conservatory overlooking the garden.

Both bathrooms have been comprehensively renovated with new vanities, basins, tapware, showers, bath and toilets. A separate family toilet and large laundry add further everyday convenience. Comfort is well catered for with two heat pumps, gas heating, a DVS ventilation and filtration system, new extractor fans and a newly installed continuous-flow infinity hot-water system. Updated plumbing and electrical work, a double internal-access garage and drive-on access complete the package.

Outside, the level and fully fenced section delivers privacy, security and plenty of room for children, pets, gardening and entertaining. The expansive backyard may also provide future potential for a swimming pool or minor dwelling, subject to council approval and purchaser due diligence. Positioned in the peaceful and established Riverdale neighbourhood, you'll be close to river walkways, parks, shops and everyday amenities. Riverdale School is approximately a four-minute walk away, with Awatapu College also within easy reach.

The owners are selling with genuine reluctance after investing significantly in restoring and improving a home they had hoped to keep for their sons. Their difficult decision creates an exceptional opportunity for another family to secure a spacious, private and beautifully renewed bungalow — with the hard work already done. Simply move in, settle down and enjoy a distinctive Awapuni family home where space, flexibility and quality improvements come together beautifully.
