On an approximately 675sqm section in Melville, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home pairs a long, fully fenced backyard with an interior that's been updated to be warm and easy to live in.

The kitchen and dining area sits at the centre of the home, with an open shelving divider that keeps whoever is cooking connected to the table. A double-glazed ranch slider opens straight onto the rear deck, and with a clear roof overhead, a morning coffee or a weeknight barbecue doesn't have to wait for fine weather. A separate lounge gives the household a second place to settle.

Three bedrooms are served by two bathrooms, both completed around two years ago, which takes the pressure off busy mornings. New flooring and carpet were laid through much of the home at the same time.

Every window is double glazed, and two heat pumps help keep the home quieter, warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Each bathroom has its own hot water supply, one from a heat pump system and the other from continuous gas, so two showers can run at once without anyone waiting for the cylinder to recover.

Outside, the lawn runs well back from the house, with room for children and pets to play, a vegetable garden, and a fruiting citrus tree beside the deck. At the front, a wide concrete pad provides generous off-street parking.

Waikato Hospital, Hamilton Lake and local shops are all a short drive away.

For a family wanting space outside and comfort inside, or an investor looking for a low-fuss three-bedroom home, 38 Corrin Street is worth a closer look.
