If you're after a large section with a roomy home and plenty of parking, this four-bedroom two-storey home in a central location should not be overlooked.

A quality concrete driveway leads to a huge, flat, sunny parking area with utility shed.

Up the second section of driveway there's parking and turnaround space by the large dwelling.

With two double bedrooms on the ground floor and a similar footprint upstairs, the lower floor includes a comfortable lounge/rumpus with woodburner, a separate study, and a bathroom with laundry.

Upstairs, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space opens to a generous, covered deck which wraps around three sides.

Step out to the rear kitchen deck and stare in awe at the ancient taraire trees bordered by nikau and ponga that are part of the package of this large landholding.

They belong to a magical strip of untouched whenua that was never cleared by farmers last century.

Back inside, there's a further bathroom on the upper level, along with two more bedrooms, one of which leads out to the front deck.

Steps from the upper deck lead to the garden which has a little lawn, beautiful camellias and abundant lemons.

To the side of the house is a sizeable standalone workshop or DIY shed - a solid prospect for builders, crafters or hobbyists.

With the home boasting new carpets and flooring plus a new roof, there is scope for further improvements, if desired, while being fully functional in the meantime.

The house would be a great renter, with its four bedrooms and ample parking, but could also be a lovely family property, with room to spread out around the property and make your own landscaping mark.

It could also be a brilliant proposition for first time buyers who might claim a foothold in the market by renting out the downstairs rooms to lodgers to help meet costs.

Either way, it's in a great location, just a short stroll to the Surfdale shops, bus stop and the beach, and not far from the schools.
