Lake Views, Space & 70's Character
Built in the 1970s and still owned by the family who built it, this is a home with a story – and plenty of its original personality still intact. Set on 1182m² in a Kawaha Point cul-de-sac with beautiful views across Lake Rotorua, it has been incredibly well cared for over the years, with some updates along the way. Change it because you want to, not because you need to.
And if you love the 1970s, there is plenty here worth keeping.
The details:
- Three large bedrooms plus a fourth single bedroom suitable for under 10s or an office
- Huge, light-filled lounge with fabulous lake views
- Kitchen and dining with loads of natural light & more of that outlook
- Main bathroom with original double vanity and blue basins
- Ensuite retaining its original lino, vanity and accessories
- Both toilets recently replaced
- Gorgeous original light fittings throughout
- Gas heating plus heat pump
- Walk-in preserving pantry plus a separate walk-in storage room
- Built-in laundry hamper – they really did think of everything in the 70s
- Large basement garage with extensive storage cupboards and plenty of room
- Two driveways providing excellent access and off-street parking
- Elevated deck overlooking the lake
- Large vegetable garden with plenty of room to add more gardens and planting
Outside, a pathway winds its way up the rear bank amongst native trees, where there is plenty of scope to have some fun. Plant flower gardens the entire way up or take inspiration from next door and create a platform at the top – a spot to sit amongst the greenery, listen to the birdsong & enjoy the outlook.
Some buyers will walk in and start planning changes. Others will fall for the timber, the blue basins, the light fittings and all those clever little details that have survived more than 50 years. Either way, the spaces are generous and the choice of what stays and what goes can be entirely yours. With lake views from home and a reserve providing walk to lake access on the street, this Kawaha Point location is fab!
