A Premium Property On Kopu

10 Kopu Road is more than a home, it's verging on a lifestyle. A life of family and friends gathering, indoors or out. The enjoyment of preparing food in the sleek modern kitchen. The messing around with vehicles in the generous garage and workshop, and the flexible number of bedroom spaces.

The 1920's home was built with the best native hard timber available and has a ceiling space that's pretty much a second story! The bungalow is beautifully presented with styled window dressings, unique light fittings, window seats and French doors. The 130m2 home is recorded as being a two bedroom home, but the home has four/five bedroom spaces - 2.5 bedrooms internally, with a third large bedroom in the garage, and a fourth in the sleepout - how good!

The newly crafted kitchen features a generous island bench which seats four family and friends, while the chef weaves their magic. The sleek kitchen remains uncluttered with a fantastic walk-in pantry. There is a dishwasher and the double door refrigerator is staying. The kitchen flows to the back deck, a private place where friends and family will gather, and after they have departed, you can enjoy the spa pool, which can be hot for winter and cool for summer. The bathroom speaks to the era of the home, featuring the original tongue and groove walls, and you'll enjoy long hot baths without a bigger power bill, thanks to the wetback freestanding fireplace, which warms up the open plan living area (there's also a heat pump).

Positioned to capture river views, the primary bedroom remains privately screened from neighbouring properties and passersby on the riverside walkway. The room is enhanced by a curved seating area which maximizes natural light and architectural character, and a wall-to-wall built-in wardrobe. The second double bedroom opens to another bedroom, where a single bed or a cot fits perfectly. The sleep out is a such a bonus feature, for friends to stay over, or teenagers to thrive in.

And the garage? It's wider and deeper than a standard double garage, with plenty of room to walk around vehicle doors when they are fully open. There is a dedicated workshop space and extensive cabinetry, and a concrete forecourt. The laundry is housed in the garage, along with the spacious bedroom, which could be an office, a pool table room, a hobby room or a personal gym.

A preferred location, the property is elevated above Wairoa river and has not been affected by flooding events. If you have been thinking that life is getting a bit short and you want to love where you live, where you wake up and how you start your day, you need to come and take a look at 10 Kopu Road.
