OVERVIEW
Back in the 80's 'Beazley Box' houses were all the rage, promising everyone 'more home for your money', and were famous for their great use of small spaces.
A superbly cared-for example of these Kiwi classic homes is now seeking new residents, as retirement beckons for its one and only owner.
Since 1988 this cheerful home has sat, entirely hidden from the road, on a rear section, its north-south setting making the most of the sun. The kitchen gets the morning sun, with the sunshine flooding the dining and lounge in the afternoon and by evening, the bedrooms benefit from the warmth.
As it's diagonally positioned on the plot, there's a surprisingly large garden on both sides, with a carport and garage adding to the overall roominess. The fences, native trees, and bushes keep things nicely private, and there's space to stay self-sufficient with beds for veggies and fruit. The lawn is a good size for kids and pets, with a west-facing deck for al fresco dining.
Inside the layout blends the kitchen, dining, and living room areas to create a great feeling of space. There are many original features and decor styles here that give the whole house a stylish retro feel.
There are two bedrooms - a double-sized master with double-sized robes, and a smaller second with its own storage. The separate laundry has direct access to the garage and carport, while the family bathroom has a shower and bath.
From a location point of view, it's superbly placed: it's on a quiet road well-served by bus routes to the train or the Coastlands Shopping Mall. Schools for all ages are nearby, as is Mazengarb Reserve, with lots of walking and biking tracks, with Paraparaumu Beach Village and foreshore minutes away by car.
Compact, convenient, and quiet, this is the perfect home for first-time buyers, investors, or downsizers.
