39 Puniu Road, Te Awamutu, Waipa, Waikato

Entry level affordability makes this Te Awamutu property attractive to first home buyers. A great first step on the property ladder, the starter home is an excellent prospect for a family wanting a decent pocket of land and the opportunity to personalise a house, make it their own and add value to their investment.

Built in the 1950s, the weatherboard abode retains some charming detailing, including a leadlight feature window and bullnose walls, which could be emphasised in a modern setting. Kitchen, dining and living areas flow seamlessly, are infused with natural light, and very accommodating to a young family. A wood fire heats this bright, inviting open plan domain which has direct access to yard. Kids can come and go as they please, grab a snack, and play to their heart's content outdoors.

Three double bedrooms are comfy retreats serviced by a bathroom and separate toilet off the laundry.

Most families want a big backyard for their children, pets, and gardens, and this 759sqm section doesn't disappoint. There are fruit trees at the rear, a single garage, and ample parking on a large concrete forecourt. A car can pull right up to front entrance. The section is open to landscaping.

Puniu Road dairy is just out front and ultra-handy for daily staples like bread and milk. Children can easily run chores.

Living in the 'Rose Town' capital of New Zealand means everything is close including the vibrant CBD, trendy cafes, national brand stores, supermarkets, schools, services, parks and recreation. Many locals choose to live in the friendly town and commute the easy distance to either Hamilton or Cambridge for work.
