6 Devery Street Mangapapa, Gisborne District

They had no intention of leaving, but life has a funny, and sometimes not-so-funny, way of changing the best-laid plans. With new adventures now on the horizon elsewhere, these wonderful owners leave behind a home they've lovingly improved, where countless memories have been made. Now, it's ready for someone else to write the next chapter.

Positioned on a quiet side street, the home enjoys many of the benefits of neighbouring Whataupoko without the accompanying price tag. Ballance Street Village, the Botanical Gardens and the ever-popular Mangapapa School are all just moments away, making everyday life wonderfully convenient.

Thoughtfully designed to make the most of every square metre, the home centres around a practical kitchen overlooking the open-plan dining and living area. A heat pump, wood burner, DVS system and comprehensively upgraded electrical wiring provide year-round comfort, while the substantial kwila deck creates the perfect space for summer entertaining.

All three bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, while the beautifully renovated bathroom and adjoining laundry are standout features. Complete with tiled flooring, underfloor heating, quality fittings, generous storage and a large bathtub, these spaces have been designed to make everyday living that little bit easier.

Positioned toward the front of the section, the home offers future potential, including scope for a minor dwelling or further development (subject to council approval). The fully fenced grounds provide peace of mind for families with children and pets, while the impressive double garage offers secure parking, excellent storage and plenty of room for hobbies or projects.

Lovingly updated, thoughtfully maintained and set in a location that continues to prove popular with buyers, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Contact Ben White today to arrange your viewing or visit one of the scheduled open homes
