Next Open Home - Saturday 20th January @ 12:30pm

Your dreams of a character home near the river are about to come true. Sitting quietly and privately in a village setting, this turn of the century villa has been lovingly restored. With a brand new $20k roof, plus new fencing, it’s ready to move right in. There’s a large deck overlooking the back garden, a great place to sit with a wine or beer on long summer evenings. An efficient wood-burner will keep you toasty in winter with ceiling and underfloor insulation added as well. There are three over-sized bedrooms and you could possibly convert the second living area to a fourth. Greeting your guests is a covered Queensland-style porch where you can sit and drink your coffee each morning.

Over the past century, people calling this place home have certainly enjoyed having a good sized section for their family to play. Being fully fenced in this 1194m2 section gives peace of mind for those with primary aged children or pets. Well established trees, as well as a silk cotton tree, give testament to the rich history of this home, providing both shade for the summer and somewhere for the kids to have endless adventures. The local residents gladly tell of the neighbourly atmosphere that abounds here and this street is one of the most highly desirable in Ngaruawahia. For keen walkers and cyclists, the newly developed section of the Waikato River’s Te Awa bike trail is just a 100m from the doorstep.

Distances to the bright lights are minimal for commuting, 15 minutes to The Base, 20 to Hamilton or an hour fifteen to Auckland, time to unwind on the drive home. And for further unwinding, the renowned Ngaruawahia Golf Course is a three-minute drive. If your busy life in the city has been hampering your ability to practice, expect to knock a couple of strokes off your handicap once you move in. If this sounds like somewhere you could be excited about living, call me today to find out when you can come and visit.
