The lucky new owners of this warm and sunny three-bedroomed family home with spacious living, will enjoy the extensive renovations with the potential to further enhance and personalise.
Not only is there new carpet and laminate floors throughout, but the whole house has been freshly repainted, and the refitted bathroom has a new shower over the bath and stylish, contemporary fittings.
The kitchen is modern, with slimline dishwasher, generous pantry and a built in alcove for a sizeable side-by-side fridge/freezer.
Two generous double bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes and the third bedroom - a single - would also be perfect as a home office.
Cosiness is guaranteed with a heat pump, wall and ceiling insulation and damp-proofing under the floors. Outside, the house has been completely re-clad and painted. With its family-sized section, separate single garage and ample off-street parking, it's a perfect choice for first-home buyers or investors.
But, that's not all - this is a very convenient location near Eastgate Mall, within a 2 minute drive of Pak'n'Save Wainoni, across the road from local shops, a bar & cafe and a Mobil service station on the corner. Parents of school-aged children will appreciate a number of pre-schools within a short drive, as well as Aranui Primary, Chisnallwood Intermediate and Aranui High Schools all close-by.
