96B Tablelands Road, Opotiki, Opotiki

Private garden oasis with timeless bungalow charm

Set amid established grounds this stunning bungalow is rich in character and warmth, offering a lifestyle opportunity where traditional character meets contemporary living. The moment you arrive, the home immediately feels welcoming, surrounded by mature gardens and bathed in all day natural light. The exterior of the home has been meticulously maintained with a new coloursteel roof and a fresh modern paint finish.

Step up onto the wrap around veranda taking in the northern and western extent of the home, you will find the bungalow feature door inviting you through into the generously wide entryway that opens through glass sliding doors to the large dual living areas. The star of the show here is the new kitchen which was entirely remodelled from the ground up in 2023 by Beaver Kitchens Whakatane. This room delivers modern convenience while remaining sympathetic to the home's character. White shaker cabinetry, quality fixtures, contemporary appliances and large dual sinks create a timeless and functional heart of the home.

Heading down the hall you will find three generous bedrooms providing excellent accommodation, all featuring large inbuilt wardrobes, with added high storage cupboards which are a classic feature of the home's era. The master bedroom enjoys its own ensuite and opens directly onto the covered veranda, perfectly positioned west to capture the setting sun and outlook over the flower gardens. The remaining two bedrooms retain their original high ceilings, enhancing the sense of space and heritage throughout the home.

An expansive recreational room with billiard table, offers flexibility for entertaining, hobbies or extended family living, with direct access to the veranda and convenient proximity to the laundry with an additional toilet and the attached double garage. The family bathroom is well designed with a separate shower room, separate toilet and dedicated vanity area, while storage is abundant with a large linen cupboard and extensive inbuilt cabinetry at the rear entrance.

Outdoor living is equally impressive. The east facing porch is a morning sun trap and provides the perfect place to start the day, while a covered outdoor dining area with a handbasin by the rear door is ideal for entertaining and serving up all the treats grown in the garden.

The flat 4,924sqm section is a true highlight, boasting an exceptional collection of mature trees including nut trees, citrus, stone fruit and nine avocado trees, alongside a large, irrigated vegetable garden and established flower beds. Never worry about the extensive lawns looking out of shape as a robotic mower effortlessly maintains the lawns and comes as part of the sale.

Practical features abound with an attached double garage offering drive-through access, two well-formed vehicle crossings with concrete parking, a large shed with electric double door, workshop and pedestrian access, a separate barn and two hot water cylinders one of which runs off solar. Located just three minutes from Hikuwai Beach and five minutes from Opotiki, this country homestead feels wonderfully private yet incredibly convenient, offering potential as a family home, boutique bed and breakfast or a venue for garden gatherings and celebrations.
