Just 20k to Whangarei but conveying a peaceful easy feeling of being an entire world away where you can enjoy ready-made family living on the quintessential Kiwi quarter-acre section in a price-band that'd be beyond reach in the city.

Comprising a classic weatherboard bungalow featuring three big bedrooms, modern bathroom, separate kitchen and a large lounge warmed by free-standing fire box.

Front and rear alfresco spaces offer choices for entertaining and relaxation with front deck offering intriguing views of bush and limestone formations while around the back lies a private sun-trap patio and pebbled area.

Double-bay garage (extra long) lets you store all the toys, supplemented by a workshop/storage room and space outside for parking up the boat or caravan.

A fantastic proposition for families that enjoy active living with the skate-park just around the road, a half hour drive to Matapouri Beach and the Tutukaka Coast and a popular Waro Limestone Scenic Reserve over the road to explore.

Act fast because just one look will have everyone convinced its time to quit looking in the city and head out to the provinces - call Louise for viewing details.
