Room to improve and add value is always a great option when buying your first home, or if you're looking to start or extend your investment portfolio and this 1970's weatherboard home with a couple of unexpected and very desirable surprises, offers great buying in the current market. If additional garaging, room for hobbies or a separate work from home space is high on your wish list - then the additional double garage and powered sleepout at the rear (as well as a single garage at the front) provides a multitude of opportunities.

Cosy, homely and with a neutral paint palette throughout, this tidy cross-lease property is quietly unassuming from the front but decidedly private, surprisingly spacious and really must be viewed to be appreciated. Inside features a good sized lounge and dining area with semi-separate kitchen, which is cleverly designed with plenty of usable storage and bench space. Two double bedrooms, both with built in storage complete the sleeping arrangements, while the bathroom comprises of a large shower, WC and vanity, adjacent to the separate laundry station.

But really it's outside space that's the star of the show - there's good flow from the lounge to the expansive, and slightly elevated wooden deck, with plenty of room to BBQ, sun-bake in the all-day sun or enjoy some backyard cricket and games on the flat lawn. But wait there's more' for those with green fingers or an interest in 'growing your own', the side of the house boasts raised veggie gardens which have proved bountiful in the past and a utility shed to store your tools.

It's a tip-top location, where the kids can scoot or bike to kindy, school and college, the convenience of the Kenakena shopping complex is around the corner and Paraparaumu Beach is a stroll-able distance - I can guarantee you'll have happy times on Hollis Road.
