Situated in one of Coastlands most well-established and quiet cul-de-sacs, this solid three-bedroom home is designed to make the best of all weathers.

An affordable home at the beach can be difficult to find but this low-maintenance 1980s, brick home has served its family well, and is ready to nurture a new generation.

Situated in one of Coastland’s most well-established and quiet cul-de-sacs, a previous winner of the Pride Whakatane Best Street Award, there is even a handy children’s playground just two doors down.

The solid, three-bedroom home with garage and workshop is designed to make the best of all weathers.

With a conservatory on the north-facing side creating the perfect winter sun trap, and a large, covered, outdoor living area on the south side, creating a retreat from the summer heat, there is always a perfect spot to relax, whatever the weather.

This cobblestoned courtyard, between the house and garage, is large enough for entertaining and very sheltered and private.

In between is a spacious open-plan living and dining room with a free-standing gas fireplace that can heat the whole home at the touch of a button.

The combination of aluminium joinery on all the windows and the brick cladding make this home very low maintenance, and near-new carpet and neutral-coloured painted walls have updated the interior.

The galley-style kitchen is well-equipped with a pantry, lots of cupboard space, double sinks, dishwasher and rangehood.

The bedrooms are also sunny and all have built-in wardrobes. A separate toilet and bathroom and large linen cupboards will come in handy for families.

Another handy feature of this home is the massive storage cupboard off the lounge, which can be locked. While this is set up for storage, it could also make a handy small office.

Two driveways, either side of the house, each with its own carport, makes it extremely convenient for the boat or campervan owner.

A fully-fenced backyard contains several outbuildings including a good-sized garden shed and half of the double garage is allocated to workshop space.
