Located at 77 Platt Road, Tauwhare, Waikato, this lifestyle-improved property is a haven for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The property features a 233sqm brick home set on a sprawling 5,000sqm of level park-like grounds. Built in the 1960s, the house has undergone modernisation and extensions to become a spacious family home. It boasts five bedrooms, two living areas, and a master bedroom complete with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. The exterior is constructed of brick with an iron roof, both in average condition. Despite its age, the home offers partial double glazing, an internal access garage, and an additional separate garage or workshop. The land is freehold, ensuring complete ownership without the complexities of shared land tenure.
The property's capital value has remained stable at $980,000 since July 2017, with no increase by October 2020. However, the HouGarden AVM estimates its value at $940,000. The latest sale on January 6, 2024, saw the property fetching $1,312,000, significantly higher than its previous sale price of $554,000 on May 10, 2013. This indicates a robust interest in lifestyle properties in the area, despite the static government valuation.
