32This solid, sun-drenched 1970s home offers a highly desirable coastal lifestyle without the renovation headache. Located conveniently in well-serviced Ruakaka, you're minutes from Bream Bay's stunning beaches and excellent fishing. The owners have meticulously upgraded this fully consented property, blending classic construction with modern efficiency. Everything is truly done—just move in and enjoy! New owners secure substantial long-term value from the extensive, recently completed improvements. The most significant upgrade is the all-new double-glazed joinery (2015/2016) throughout, providing superior insulation and quiet comfort. Inside, a pristine new bathroom and kitchen were installed (2016), complemented by a reliable new mains pressure hot water cylinder (2023). Major structural items are complete: the full re-roofing of the house and the garage (2017/2018), plus fresh exterior painting. For a healthy environment, the home features upgraded insulation, efficient extraction units, and a heat transfer system. The interior aesthetic is fresh and inviting with plush new carpet (2017) and restored, repainted walls, ceilings, and doors (2019). The generous 94m² home features a light-filled split-level design with three bedrooms and a spacious living room boasting a dramatic vaulted ceiling. Effortless indoor/outdoor flow leads to a covered rear deck and a large, sun-drenched, north-facing deck, perfect for relaxed entertaining. The expansive 883m² corner section offers huge potential, featuring a second entry gate and abundant parking for trailers and boats. There's even scope for an extra dwelling. The property also includes a functional 39m² garage/workshop. The section is completed by an established, bird-friendly garden that is a true horticultural delight, featuring mature subtropical and fruit plantings (avocado, banana, citrus), alongside a raised vegetable garden. Embrace a truly stress-free coastal move! Contact Megan Hetges to make this incredible home yours!
