An ideal first venture into the property market and a great renter to boost your investment portfolio, this affordable home has a lot to offer. It's tucked safely up a driveway in a well-connected Dinsdale neighbourhood close to the local park and shopping centre, and a short drive from the hospital and CBD. Neat as a pin and modernised inside, this warm, inviting nest provides a family with three bedrooms, open plan dining and kitchen, a light-filled lounge, a bathroom and separate toilet and laundry. The home is dressed in a contemporary colour palette, has good condition / new? carpet, and a heat pump for year-round comfort. A ranchslider in the lounge makes the outdoors immediately accessible, and the courtyard beckons for alfresco relaxation. The enclosed backyard is child and pet-friendly, giving kids and the family dog space to romp around. A playground, a sports field and other recreational activities are metres away in Kahikatea Park. The home has carport parking, off-parking, and a nice feeling of being safely positioned off the road. The neighbourhood is family-oriented and handy to all city services.
