Built to last and as sturdy as they come, this 1950's ex-state house has great bones. With a closed combustion fire, insulated ceiling and floor this home is secure and warm. It has that old-time charm, with native floors and a nice sunny lounge, wooden joinery it has a quaint cute feel. The kitchen is tidy and clean and includes an open plan dining area.

The two bedrooms are both of good size. The bathroom is tidy and functional and it has a separate toilet. There is the bonus of a cubical shower in the large laundry.

Close to town, doctors and the lovely Tarawera River, the central location of this solid two-bedroom home keeps everything a short stroll away. The large fenced back yard is sunny and private and there is a carport and shed.

For the investor, this home is currently tenanted by a reliable long-term tenant paying $160 per week but in this current rental market this lovely home could easily achieve $200 per week.
