181 Otaika Road Raumanga, Whangarei District

Attention first-home buyers and astute investors! Here's a practical yet appealing, recently redecorated, 1960's, weatherboard classic - a sound first home/investor opportunity that puts you on the property ladder or adds a reliable asset to your portfolio.

Polished wood flooring and the tastefully renovated kitchen are sure to please. The three double bedrooms, plus generously sized, living and dining areas, offer plenty of space for a growing family. The separate toilet, bathroom, and laundry, make practical sense for everyday family living. Astute buyers will also appreciate the heat-pump, HRV system, and insulated comfort. The interior was painted less than a year ago, the exterior approximately 3 years ago.

The 804sqm (more or less) gently sloping section, is landscaped for ease of care, with vegetable gardens ready to go. The private, covered deck off the kitchen, looks out to the fully fenced back yard. A gate to a lane off Mt Pleasant Road provides easy access to the shops nearby - just a short walk away! There is a single garage with storage space and ample off-street parking.

Investors: the rental appraisal is $560 to $600 per week. The current tenants would be keen to remain.

Conveniently located just 3 km the city centre, close to local schools and NorthTech, and traffic routes in all directions, this is great buying! If you're looking for a sound investment, or a tidy first home, inspect without delay.

Call me to book your private inspection now or come to the open home. (Open home viewers can park on the lane to #2 and #6 Mt Pleasant Road if preferred).
