Golf Road (Close to Golf Club), Taumarunui, Ruapehu, Manawatu / Whanganui

Private sale — the property is being offered directly by the owners while we assess the market before deciding whether to appoint a real estate agent.

The property is currently tenanted, so the exact address has been withheld to respect the tenants’ privacy.

The house was originally designed as our permanent home, but we subsequently relocated to New Plymouth for new job opportunities. It was also our holiday home for nearly three years, so we know the house and its condition well.

As construction professionals, we understand the importance of making an informed property purchase. We are committed to being open and transparent with prospective buyers and can provide supporting information and first-hand evidence to assist with their due diligence.

This is a distinctive property offering more than a conventional two-bedroom home, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas across its two levels, together with a substantial lower-level area providing considerable flexibility for work, hobbies and guests.

Elevated Home with Golf Club & Domain Views
An elevated and well-presented home enjoying excellent sunshine, good natural airflow and attractive views across the nearby golf club and surrounding green spaces.

Originally built in the 1950s, this well-established home has performed well for its age and has been progressively renovated, upgraded and maintained, while retaining the warmth and character of an established property.

Properties in this location and with this combination of elevation, outlook and flexible space rarely come to the market, making this a property worth considering.

The upper two-bedroom unit is currently tenanted at $480 per week, with a rental history ranging from $420 to $480 per week.

Comfortable Upper-Level Living
(1) Two generous double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes
(2) Renovated kitchen with modern appliances and good storage
(3) Light-filled open-plan living and dining areas with a versatile layout
(4) Dining area opening to a sunny garden and carport
(5) Good-sized bathroom with shower, large vanity and integrated toilet
(6) Separate laundry with modern cabinetry

The property has also benefited from a range of improvements, including updated wiring and plumbing, exterior painting, guttering and other renovation and maintenance works.

Versatile Lower Level
A particularly special feature of this property is the substantial lower level, which forms part of the home's integrated extension.

The lower level is consented as non-habitable workshop/office space and includes bathroom and washing facilities.

Thermal insulation, weathertightness and ventilation were specifically considered and integrated into the design and construction of the lower-level extension. Over the years, it has been used as an

(1) Architecture workshop
(2) Home office
(3) Music room
(4) Guest room
(5) Flexible hobby and activity space

This provides considerable flexibility for working from home, creative pursuits, hobbies, visitors or additional everyday living needs, while remaining clear that the lower level is non-habitable ancillary space rather than a separate dwelling.

A secure lock-up garage and rear carport, conveniently located close to the kitchen, provide useful off-street parking and storage.
