Some homes simply have a lovely feel from the moment you arrive, and this is one of them. Warm, sunny and full of character, this beautifully cared-for home offers relaxed living surrounded by established gardens, with an unexpected sense of space and self-sufficiency right in the heart of Akina. With new plans ahead, our owner is ready to pass this much-loved home on to its next lucky owner.

Native timber floors bring warmth and personality to the interior, where the kitchen and bathroom were modernised in 2019. Quality appliances add to the appeal of the kitchen, while the light-filled living spaces make the most of the home’s sunny aspect. When winter arrives, a compliant inbuilt wood burner and heat pump ensure the home remains wonderfully cosy.

Two comfortable bedrooms make the home easy to live in and easy to maintain, whether you are stepping onto the property ladder, looking to downsize without giving up outdoor space, or searching for a well-presented investment.

But outside, this property really comes into its own. The generous 699sqm section has been thoughtfully landscaped and offers so much more than simply a backyard. Established fruit trees and a large vegetable garden offer the start of a wonderful grow-your-own lifestyle, with room to add a few chooks and embrace a more self-sufficient way of living. There is something very special about being able to pick produce from your own garden, potter outdoors and still be only minutes from the centre of town.

At the front of the home, a sunny deck creates an inviting place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day, while the fully fenced section provides a secure environment for children and pets.

Adjacent to the home, a reinforced grass area provides practical additional parking while retaining the natural look of the grounds. The generous 6m x 9m garage is another real bonus, offering excellent workshop space and plenty of room for vehicles, tools and storage, while dedicated wood storage keeps the winter supply conveniently tucked away.

And then there is the location. A gate provides direct access through to Hastings Intermediate, with other schools and kindergartens nearby. Akina Park is just moments away, and the Hastings CBD is within easy reach, making everyday life wonderfully convenient.

Full of warmth, character and sunshine, this is a home that offers more than you might expect. With its beautiful gardens, generous section and wonderful opportunity to grow your own, this charming property brings a touch of the good life to town - without giving up the convenience of being close to everything.

A building report and LIM report will be available to interested parties.
