Set on a generous, fenced quarter-acre section, this substantial two-storey home delivers space, versatility and an enviable lifestyle in a desirable location.

Built in the 1940s, the home is of solid concrete construction with a tiled roof and offers around 250sqm of living space. With five bedrooms, multiple living areas, three bathrooms and two single garages, it is superbly suited to large or extended families, or those seeking flexible living options.

Character features, including native timber flooring, add warmth and charm, while the thoughtful layout ensures comfort and adaptability as family needs evolve.

The heart of the home is the expansive ground-floor living hub, incorporating the kitchen, dining and lounge areas.

From here, French doors open to a stunning paved, Mediterranean-style outdoor entertaining area complete with an in-ground swimming pool and beautifully landscaped gardens.

This private outdoor zone is ideal for entertaining, with alfresco dining enjoyed beneath a pergola and a semi-rural outlook to the Warren Cole Walkway and Whakatāne River.

Also on the ground level is a separate wing housing two bedrooms and two bathrooms, both bedrooms opening to a private courtyard.

This area offers excellent potential for extended family accommodation, Airbnb income or a work-from-home set up.

A separate laundry completes the lower level.

Upstairs, the landing opens to a second lounge with a Juliet balcony, while three
additional bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the level.
Most upstairs windows are double-glazed, and an awesome attic space offers river views.

Comfort is assured year-round with two heat pumps, while features such as abundant storage, a garden shed, security system and solar-heated water add further appeal.

The front lawn includes mature trees and a charming treehouse for children.

This is a substantial, well-located home offering space, privacy and lifestyle, just
moments from schools, shops and recreational facilities.
