245 Waiuku Otaua Road WAIUKU, Franklin

245 Waiuku-Otaua Road is on the edge of town and a very short drive from Waiuku. Far enough away to enjoy a rural atmosphere yet close enough for your older children to walk to school. This is a traditional New Zealand weatherboard home built to last.

The main part of the home has a country style kitchen with open plan dining and a good size separate lounge. The feature of the dining area is a modern wood burning fire (complete with wetback) which takes pride of place in one corner. These fires are exceptional for heating and can also be used for cooking keeping a pot of soup piping hot on a cold winter weekend.

The timber kitchen has a great country feel and is ready for a busy cook with its modern dual wall ovens and gas hobs. There is a good sized pantry, dishwasher, ample bench space and a small breakfast bar. A sliding window is well positioned for passing the food and beverages outside to patio when you're having a summer evening barbecue.

The front deck is accessed through ranch slider doors in the dining room and lounge. It is a good sized deck area and in front is a nice river stone pebble garden. The sliding doors allow you to open up the home in the hot days of summer.

The bedrooms in this home are all doubles and the master is a very generous size. All bedrooms have exterior doors to the north facing, outdoor entertaining area. This area will catch the sun all year round and is well sheltered.

The main bathroom has a shower over the bath, vanity and toilet. There is a second combined laundry and bathroom which has a second toilet plus a shower unit.

The property has a free standing double garage and workshop which has 3 phase power available. Behind the garage there is a paved area ideal for the avid fisherman, complete with a stainless sink bench set up ready for all that end of the day fish filleting.

You also gain a good in ground fibreglass swimming pool which is solar heated and 6 feet deep at one end. Some maintenance is required on the fencing and a touch of landscaping and redesign would give you a great asset for your children. There is great potential here to add value to your property.

There are two concrete water tanks which are nicely placed out of view behind the garage. The rear of the property is basically a blank canvas ready for you to improve as you wish. There are a few fruit trees in place and the area is ready for you to tidy up and get on to your gardening projects. Or perhaps the kids would like a few chooks and a pet lamb.

This home is the perfect start for first home buyers or a rental investment for targeting long term tenants wanting a country style property. Changing life circumstances mean the current owners are in need of a sale as soon as possible and are highly motivated to move on from this property.

Waiuku is a popular, family orientated town which is getting closer to Auckland by the day as the southern motorway improves. An easy commute, it is only 30 km to the motorway at Drury and often you can be in the centre of Auckland in under an hour.

You are a short drive from Sandspit Beach (ideal for children's swimming), around 9 km from Karioitahi surf beach on the west coast and handy to the beautiful bays of the Awhitu Peninsula. It's also about 10 km to the Waikato River which is very popular for boating, skiing and duck shooting.

If you would like a financing example based on your own circumstances I am more than happy to arrange for Ray White's home finance division, Loan Market, to provide a personalised home loan example for you.
