Getting your foot on the property ladder doesn't have to mean compromising on comfort or practicality. Whether you're a first-home buyer ready to make your move or an investor looking for a solid addition to your portfolio, this three-bedroom home is well worth your attention. Inside, the light-filled, open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area creates a welcoming space for everyday living, with new carpet recently laid to give the home a fresh feel. Year-round comfort is well catered for with a heat pump, wood burner and DVS ventilation system. The practical layout continues with a separate toilet from the main bathroom, while the garage has been converted into a useful utility space incorporating the laundry. With the laundry tucked away here, there's valuable extra space off the kitchen where the laundry formally was for storage, additional pantry space or whatever best suits your needs. A ranch slider opens from the lounge onto the rear deck and fully fenced backyard - a lovely spot to unwind, enjoy a bit of fresh air or entertain friends. Off-street parking, tinted windows, gas Infinity system and a garden shed add further convenience. Location is another plus, with Te Kura o Wairau Primary School, Somerset Kindergarten, Hungary Horse Cafe and Four Square Cloverlea all close by. Affordable opportunity, practical features and a convenient location - this could be the step onto the property ladder you've been waiting for, or an investment worth adding to your shortlist with an estimated rental appraisal between $570 - $580 per week.
