For first home buyers, astute investors and those eyeing up the range of possibilities. Here is this gorgeous three bedroom, weatherboard home on a huge 1,012sqm (more or less) section. It has an extra special feel that just puts it ahead of the rest.

Enjoying an outlook beyond Waipahihi to the sparkling waters of the lake and distant hills, this little dreamboat could be destined for bigger things and will surely deliver long term gains for an investor or growing family.

The 1960's vintage weatherboard dwelling offers living all on one level and is elevated for sun and attractive vistas. The open plan lounge and dining area are well warmed in winter with a log burner and invites entertaining with a flow to a gloriously sunny deck. The kitchen is old-school, separate and tucked away and flanked by the separate laundry, holding potential for a remodel to current day styles. Three bedrooms are served by a bathroom and at 130sqm (more or less) there's scope to re-draft and increase the house size.

A single garage and off-street parking for plenty of visitors, the home is in an ideal location close to the botanical gardens for a nature ramble and is handy also for schools, local shops or to nip down to the lake on a Friday night for a picnic on the foreshore with the kids.
