Tender
Set on a generous 870sqm section in the heart of Riwaka, this classic 1950s 3-bedroom home offers a welcoming blend of space, sunshine, and relaxed village living. With its solid bones, refreshed interior, and family-friendly layout, it offers an appealing opportunity for buyers seeking a home combining both comfort and potential. Inside, the home feels light and inviting, with open-plan living that brings together the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas in a way that suits modern family life. A log burner, heat pump, and heat transfer system provide year-round comfort, ensuring the home remains warm and cosy through the cooler months and easy to live in during summer. One of the home’s standout features is its excellent indoor-outdoor flow. The living area opens to a large wrap-around deck that captures the sun and provides superb options for barbecuing, entertaining, or simply relaxing while overlooking the garden. Whether hosting friends or enjoying quiet family time, this space will be well used year-round. The 3 bedrooms are well proportioned and supported by a tidy, functional bathroom, with the added convenience of a separate toilet. Practicality continues outside, where the fully fenced section offers peace of mind for children and pets, along with plenty of room for play. Established fruit trees add charm and productivity, while the large lawn and concreted rear courtyard provide flexible outdoor spaces. The interior has recently been refurbished following a severe weather event, with insurance-approved works including new paint and wool carpet. This refresh has created a clean, bright, and welcoming environment, allowing the next owners to move in and enjoy the space. Additional features include a single garage, workshop, woodshed, and a large array of recently installed solar panels, enhancing both storage options and energy efficiency. A pleasant rural outlook across to the nearby croquet courts adds to the sense of openness, while still enjoying the convenience of a central village location. Positioned within easy walking distance of the local school, daycare centre, and the ever-popular Mrs Smith’s Café, this home is ideally located to enjoy everything Riwaka has to offer. The village is well known for its strong community feel and appeals equally to families, retirees, and those seeking a relaxed lifestyle close to Motueka, Kaiteriteri, and the Abel Tasman National Park. Offered by Tender, this property invites buyers to undertake their due diligence and appreciate the home for what it offers today - a refreshed, well-located family home with space, sunshine, and genuine village appeal.
