If you're dreaming of a little lifestyle, old-fashioned charm and the reassurance of a home that's been extensively renewed from the ground up, this delightful bungalow deserves your attention! Just minutes from the tranquil township of Te Aroha, this recently relocated bungalow sits proudly on a generous 2,546sqm section, capturing majestic, uninterrupted views of the Kaimai Ranges. And while the character and charm remain, much of the hard work has already been done. Extensively renovated and updated, the home boasts new foundations, a new roof, updated wiring and plumbing, double-glazed windows retaining timber joinery, a brand-new septic system and water tank. The kitchen and both bathrooms are also new, creating a home that feels wonderfully fresh, modern and ready to enjoy. Inside, you'll find two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas, with the flexibility to easily convert the second living room back into a third bedroom if your needs require. A cosy wood burner sets the scene for winter evenings, while a heat pump can keep the air cool this summer. Step outside and discover one of the home's real highlights — a large covered deck stretching along the length of the house, perfectly positioned to soak up those spectacular mountain views. Imagine starting your morning with coffee with the sunrise, or winding down in the evening with a favourite tipple as the day's adventures are recounted. Completing the picture is a brand-new double garage and freshly poured concrete driveway, adding practicality and appeal to this charming country property. Our vendor has poured an incredible amount of heart and soul into creating this special home and is genuinely reluctant to leave. However, as we all know, circumstances can change in an instant - and now presents an opportunity for someone else to make it their own.
