332 Marine Parade, Wairoa, Hawkes Bay

I love the feel of this home, which has been lovingly maintained and improved continually, since Dot made it her home. My favourite spot is sitting on the built-in bench seats (with storage underneath) that flank two sides of the dining table, with the French doors flung open to the modern deck, whilst oodles of natural light, and the sound of birdlife, softly come inside. The outlook is fine here, out over the super tidy front yard to the river and reserve beyond.

The living room, separate to the dining area, offers the exact same vibe, more sunshine and airflow, more French doors, opening to another patio and that view.

As the original house plans for this riverside home show, this is a three-bedroom home. Dot has always wanted a walk-in wardrobe, so she had the dividing wall opened up between the second and third bedroom (you can see this in the pictures) and Dot will have the dividing wall professionally reinstated for you, should you want to reinstate the third bedroom. Currently, the door to the third bedroom opens to the undercover porch, right next to one of the external entry doors to this happy home. What else is great about this home? A plethora of established fruit trees out back providing citrus stone fruit, plus a freestanding garage, as well as the integral garage. There is a modern (permitted) fireplace and a heatpump (for a cool cool summer) and that kitchen, so much bench space! The pantry is outstanding, an organised persons dream right there. The bathroom (and separate loo) is squeaky clean and completely modern.

Dots grandkids are calling her over to Australia. She will continue to care for this sunny home until the day you move in. It is a short stroll down the road to the Eastend precinct where you will find the best coffee and food, and the cutest flower and Homestore, alongside some friendly folk that you will get to know quickly.

Give me a call, I cannot wait to show you around and perhaps we can sample a nectarine or peach whilst we are there.
