2a Baker Street, Waihi

The vendors have had a change of plans and are now calling for offers on their much-loved property.

Which would you choose? A fixer-upper or a move-in-ready charmer?

The first is a bit dilapidated, requiring a total renovation before you can move in, but it's cheap as chips.

The second however, is this charming villa at 2a Baker Street. It already boasts two of the most important (and expensive) upgrades below.

These upgrades?

• New wiring throughout, complete with a Code of Compliance

• 80% re-piled, providing a solid foundation for years to come

Situated in an unbeatable location directly across from Morgan Park, the vibrant hub of local sports, this villa is perfect for families. With netball, tennis, squash, soccer, bowls, and a skateboard bowl just steps away, your kids can come and go with ease.

This delightful home offers:

• Three serviceable bedrooms (2 doubles, 1 single)

• A cosy lounge featuring both a firebox and a heat pump

• A charming kitchen/dining area, with an amazing woodburner, plus a second versatile space-ideal as a TV room, library, or office

• Cottage gardens with raised veggie beds, fruit trees (including an incredible orange tree!), a woodshed, and a green plant house

• Plus single garaging with space for 2 extra cars

Don't let the cross-lease deter you. With approximately 791 sqm of exclusive-use land, you'll enjoy plenty of space and privacy. Plus, the 999-year lease (commencing in 1990) gives you long-term security with the added bonus of having some say over what your neighbours can do - such as saying "no" to their polka dot paint scheme!

Concerning the cross-lease, there has recently been a very positive discussion regarding the freehold/leasehold situation, and we'd be happy to share more details with you at your visit.

This home combines charm, practicality, and location - everything you need to start your next chapter.

As a bonus, this home includes a stylish double bed and dresser in the 2nd bedroom. Plus, for those looking to enhance its character, beautifully restored kauri sash windows (valued at $3,000) are included-perfect for adding extra charm to the main bedroom.
