Nestling between two Reserves, this simple, smart townhouse is hidden away on a rear section, surrounded by a stunningly colourful wraparound garden. It's a one-hundred square metre home that's been lovingly looked after by its current owner since 1996: her green fingers and attention to detail are why this home is so beautiful inside and out. However, it is now time to give new owners the chance to enjoy the serenity this home brings.

The garden is a technicolour dream, with masses of flowering bushes, trees and plants painting a gloriously verdant picture all around the house. The lawn spans the width of the property, which is fenced and secure on all sides. There's space for veggies and a large shed for tools and toys.

A sun-drenched deck leads into the main hub of the two-bedroomed home, which has been repainted from top to bottom, offering new owners a modern, blank canvas. The galley-style kitchen has brand new flooring, as does the family bathroom, while there are new carpets and curtains in every room, too.

Waikanae's shopping precinct, movie theatre and restaurants are within walking distance away, with the train station just a minute or two further. The expressway is close enough to be convenient, but far enough away to be unheard, making this a perfect weekender investment, or an ideally-sized starter home or downsizer for professionals or young families.
