With all round appeal for the first home buyer or savvy investor*, this tidy treasure sits conveniently close to the centre of town. A successful rental property in the past, the current owners are divesting, so this is your golden opportunity to secure an affordable foothold and even add value with aesthetic upgrades if so desired.

A light, neutral-toned interior is underpinned in living areas by deep toned carpet with pastel walls and floaty drapes while the open plan lounge and dining area is warm and welcoming with cosy heat pump. Doors open to a sunny front deck for entertaining around the barbecue once summer arrives. The corner kitchen with tiled floor, laminate counters and an electric range is a good candidate for a 2022 modernisation if you've been dreaming of brand new. Three bedrooms have built in closets, and all share the compact bathroom with toilet and laundry separate. A single internal access garage gets back up from plenty of off-street parking out front.

With great sun and comprising a fully fenced rear section big enough for the kids to kick a soccer ball and pets to safely wander. Flat lawns are well established but the garden is a blank canvas if you're keen to plant the vegetable garden and some citrus trees. The location works well for those who want to keep the petrol bills down, and it's an approximately 16-minute walk to the front door of Bunnings with the lakefront and river both nearby. Close to a huge selection of amenities, supermarkets, shops, and parks Mountview School and Taupo Nui-A-Tia College are also close to home.

*Subject to the property complying with the Residential Tenancies Amendment Act 2020, effective 1 July 2019 for the purposes of a rental investment.
