12 Mawake Place, Turangi, Central North Island

The manicured leafy green garden gets you in the gate. Once in the yard, you note the property is fully fenced and very private. This backyard has a spacious garden shed with lots of work benches and room to store garden equipment or outdoor toys. There is a single garage with a shared wall and room for off-street parking. A few gems in the garden include a raised garden bed to plant and grow vegetables, a gazebo to sit out of the sun with a good book and a covered backyard deck to entertain or BBQ.

The house features a little conservatory that doubles as a laundry. Here you can de-robe in winter, use as a glass house or home the family pets. The living space is large and features a walk-through kitchen with cork tiling. From the kitchen extends a carpeted lounge, with good indoor-outdoor flow to the deck. A gas fire and heat pump will keep you warm in winter with ducted heating. There is space off the kitchen to use a study, dining room or convert back into a third sleeping area. The two bedrooms both fit a double bed and feature character carpet with a throw-back to yesteryear. Keep it vintage or replace it to instantly modernise the rooms. The bathroom is compact with a shower over the bath in this 1966 home.

Now let's mention the structure built by MOW in the 60s these native timber weather board homes are built as tough as nails, this one is topped off with an iron roof and features aluminium joinery, two bay windows and fly screens to make your summer evenings bug free. This is an excellent family home, bach or investment handy to town.

Take it from me, Turangi is the place to be. Here we have great cafes and restaurants, and fantastic access to the outdoor playgrounds including the Tongariro River, Ruhapehu Ski Fields, Lake Taupo and surrounds.
