Gorge Road, Maungaturoto, Northland

This property has the right amount of everything to offer you a comfortable base for a fabulous lifestyle in a classic rural service town central to the north. 
There's a lined and insulated double garage plus a third car-space and plenty of storage space in the basement. 
The three-bedroom home offers a compact, well-laid-out floorplan of approximately 85m2. The rural views from the dining table will fill your spare minutes with peace, the galley kitchen offers excellent storage and a good work-flow with the same rural views and the separate living room is easy to heat. The separate bathroom and toilet are set back from a central hub that also connects all three bedrooms and provides good storage. This home has a warm, easy, comfortable feel.
There is a balcony facing the northwest to catch the fabulous sunsets or you might prefer to relax in the morning sun with your coffee on the private 54m2 (approx.) front porch that overlooks the fenced pet-and-child-friendly front yard. Here you could escape the heat of the afternoon sun or follow it back through to the balcony or dining table. Under the front porch is a massive rainwater tank, to complement town supply water.
Built in the 1960's, the era when houses were built to last, this one recently had a fresh exterior paint job, having been stripped back to wood, carefully prepared and finished by a true craftsman. Other recent improvements include new carpet and lino, and full insulation (including exterior walls). A heat-pump, wood-burner and HRV system keep this home cosy.
Zoned residential and boundaried by rural with the best of both worlds, this location is walking distance of a full range of services including Community Health Shuttle, Doctors, Pharmacy, Post-shop and Four-Square. It is also central to a dazzling array of beaches, bush walks and boat ramps that make the Northland outdoor lifestyle second to none.
