Two Dwellings, One reasonable price

Not often does a property come on the market that has all that is what is on offer here at such a reasonable price. It was built in the 1970's by a well-known Putaruru builder as his own family home.

The current owners of 40 years lived in the house while raising their family and now live in the unit, leaving the house vacant and as they have arranged their future years elsewhere, hence the reason this property is now listed.

The Two-storey house has the lower level which provides a double garage, a very big bedroom, (or can be a games or utility room), plus a toilet, shower and laundry and storage space. The stairway to the upper level has a good tread design and at the top you are greeted by a Rimu feature wall, and access to the open plan living area which has the kitchen with ample bench space and a dining area that will take a large dining table and chairs. Also, the lounge will accommodate all normal family items. Both the bedrooms are "double size", and the bathroom has a spa-bath, vanity and a wall mirror, and adjacent to the separate toilet.

Between the house and the unit, is a covered, weather-proof carport The floor plan of the unit offers an open plan living area, two double bedrooms, separate bathroom, (wet-floor shower, vanity and wall mirror) and a separate toilet adjacent. Climate control via a heat pump and an HRV system.

An inspection of the exterior of both dwellings on the spacious 1,098m2(more or less) site will show that they are constructed in concrete block (basement), "split-stone" cladding, white aluminium windows, and Decra- tile roofing. You will also note that the end wall of the unit is concrete block, and this may relate to the original building providing a "firewall" for the construction of another unit. There appears to be enough land area for this possible option.

Yes, there is some maintenance required, but this is mainly of a "cosmetic nature" and has been taken into consideration when establishing the asking price.
