Whether you're an investor chasing your next project, a flipper ready to roll up your sleeves, or a home buyer keen on offsetting the mortgage with some potential side income - this one's worth a look.

There are plenty of ways to make this one work.

One Of The Best? YIP!
We've seen a lot of properties in Aotea, and to us, this one stands out a little more than the rest. What I love most is the layout has been thoughtfully curated with family living in mind, rather than a typical mass subdivision plan.

If you run a home office, that's covered with a downstairs room near the front door (even has a sink; perfect for beauty/salon services). If you have kids, you've got two separated living spaces. If you love to entertain, the kitchen, dining, living spaces all flow out to the sheltered courtyard space. And if you've got an adult child that you need a safe distance from, then there is a big sleepout in the backyard.

When we look through properties, you can tell a lot from looking at the build. Here, you will find small touches that really make this house a home - tasteful light fittings, extra thick kitchen benchtops, a special place for the spa pool, plugs in all the right places and everyone loves a barn style door!

At the end of the day, when you are sick of the family and just want some alone time, the master bedroom is super-sized for your peaceful enjoyment. It is so big you could even fit an office corner inside. Normally, no one reads this far into property descriptions, so if you've made it this far - give us a call.
