These 1950s homes were built to last and with the bonus of aluminium joinery and an iron roof, this home is something special.

Close to town, doctors and the lovely Tarawera River, the central location of this solid two-bedroom home keeps everything a short stroll away. This means you can keep the car safely parked inside the nicely presented double garage.

Inside you will find a very cosy home heated by a closed combustion fireplace. The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge areas are comfortably roomy, and with two spacious bedrooms this 100sqm home isn't lacking space.

There is a separate toilet and bathroom and a large laundry at the back door. The deck off the kitchen provides nice indoor outdoor flow and a great spot to relax on hot summer evenings.

With ample parking and plenty of potential to modernise, this home would make a great easy project for the motor-homer, boating enthusiast or someone looking to down-size.

It is also a very solid investment for the savvy buyer. On a fully fenced 770sqm corner section the home offers a degree of security and a real sense of openness.

With Kawerau's superb climate, fantastic community spirit, up-to-date facilities and all within an easy commuting distance to Rotorua, Whakatane and Tauranga, it's easy to see why Kawerau was voted New Zealand's premium retirement town and the best place to live in NZ. For young families there are excellent schooling options, a new $19m college, free swimming pools and numerous parks and reserves to enjoy.

Boasting a new Govt Medical Centre, recent private investment in the town including a New World Supermarket, extensive infrastructure spending and significant Council improvements, Kawerau continues to grow and thrive. To view this wonderful home, please call Ali today on 027 233 5555
