Character, space, location + a self-contained flat
The property is called Waimarie, which translates as Peaceful waters, but also means luck and auspicious, and indeed it will be your great luck to own this most beautifully located property. If you appreciate your home having some history, you will enjoy the story that is Waimarie.
Set on 1322 m2, the 1930's bungalow is spectacularly spacious, featuring three bedrooms (master with en suite) and a formal lounge complete with native timber battened ceiling. In keeping with modern times, there is a large open plan dining and kitchen area, plus informal lounge area with gas flued freestanding fireplace, a beautifully renovated bathroom, and a glorious sun room, where your fiesta (or siesta) will be one with a most pleasant view. The home looks out over the Wairoa river and reserve, and it's a view you will never tire of.
Grandly guarding the entrance way is a majestic Nikau Palm, the berries of which the Kereru feast upon. Indeed, the property is a haven for native birds - tui, bellbirds, fantails, waxeyes, kingfisher and kereru all come to feast on the Puriri, the Karaka and the Banksia, a veritable birds larder.
If this were not enough, imagine the benefits of the self-contained accommodation, located on the side of the house. With its own access way, the flat currently returns a rental of $160 per week. The all new interior features a sunny double bedroom, looking out over the river, plus kitchen, dining and lounge area, and a bathroom, with laundry facilities included.
The property has excellent garaging - a three bay concrete block garage opening directly to the road, plus more shedding.
A spacious family home. A self contained flat. Tons of garaging. Location and character.
Welcome to Waimarie.
