Tucked into a well-established pocket of Whakatane, just a stone's throw from the Whakatane River walkway, this charming home has been built for the sun and is ready for a new family to call it home. Constructed in 1956 from Huntly brick the home offers three sunny bedrooms, one bathroom and character-filled living, all set on a fully fenced and beautifully landscaped 439 sqm (more or less) section.

Stepping through the front door, you will immediately notice the character that gives this home its warmth and charm. Timber features run throughout including skirting boards and doors, pelmets frame the windows and neutral wallpaper throughout the home creates a calm, fresh backdrop, ready for your own furniture and style.

The living room is sure to become everyone's favourite spot, with decorative cornice and lots of windows let the natural light pour in with sun all day long. French doors open straight out to the covered patio, so on a summer afternoon you can throw them open and let the indoor and outdoor living flow together. A stone feature wood burner makes a lovely focal point on winter evenings.

Leading on through into the dining and kitchen area, both of which receive plenty of morning sun, you will immediately notice the original timber floors. The kitchen has a nice neutral palate and a functional layout. The peninsula has breakfast bar seating so there is plenty of space to cook and converse. A heat pump here helps keep the home comfortable year-round.

All three bedrooms are generous with wardrobes, and the neutral decor is accented by the warm timber character features. The master and second bedroom have large north facing windows and the third bedroom is west facing. The jack and jill bathroom comes with a toilet, separate in built bath, shower and a pedestal vanity and has access via the hallway and the laundry.

Practical living here is provided for in spades. The laundry has a large work top and a huge amount of storage, with additional storage provided in the hallway. There is easy access from the laundry through to the kitchen, bathroom and rear service yard which contains the washing line.

Outdoors the spacious covered patio, finished with lovely white timber balustrading and a recently replaced clearlite roof over looks the landscaped gardens and has room enough for relaxing, casual everyday outdoor dining or entertaining friends and family. The property also boasts a concrete driveway, two-car carport, a rear service yard with washing line and garden shed, and the generous front lawn provides space for children and pets to play safely on this north facing yard.

If you're looking to downsize or for a first home that is of solid construction, in a great location with a practical floor plan and plenty of sun, come and view this charming property today.
