31 School Road, Whatawhata, Waikato, 3289, New Zealand

This 1012sqm property offers the quintessential Kiwi lifestyle with a town and country flavour. Kids have room to roam, an adventure playground in the backyard and Whatawhata School just up to road. The home overlooks picturesque Te Kowhai Golf Course, which is relaxing on the eye, and super handy when you feel like a round of golf. There’s no travelling into town for a latte or a meal as the Village Cafe and local bar and eatery are a leisurely walk away. Another big plus, particularly for a growing family, is living in a community with a friendly village spirit. 

Brought to market in tip-top condition, the home is a joy to live it. The sociable, light-filled open plan living zone extends onto a covered deck, which is a perfect spot to watch the world go by and survey the activity on the golf course. The kitchen is an efficient space with a good array of appliances readily at hand, and a peninsula bench where the kids can sit and chat. 

The modern bathroom has everything a young family needs – a bath, shower, vanity and toilet. All three bedrooms are comfy and carpeted. The separate laundry steps out onto a sunny deck and the detached utility room is suited to various activities. Office, playroom, entertainment den and hobbies spring instantly to mind.

The grounds are trim and neatly fenced, and a 1.5 garage sits at the end of the concrete driveway.

Lifestyle gains are huge as all amenities are close, and you’re on the right side of town for the hospital and trips to Raglan beach.
