Why not treat yourselves, in 2020?
How about an attractive lower-maintenance home that enriches family living, offering comfort, generous open-plan living areas and fabulous individual spaces, set amidst sun-swamped grounds in an exceptional locale? Add to this multiple outdoor enjoyment areas; gardens with form, texture, colour, produce, and intriguing pathways; enviable garaging with workspace...and did we mention "location"? This is a property your family will simply love coming home to.
Beautifully established out of sight of the road - yet boasting great off-street parking! - this treasured home will be sorely missed by its current owners.
"If we could lift it and take it with us, we would!"
A recorded floor area of 170m2 embraces living areas that flow easily outdoors to private entertaining spaces, barbecue area, and spa enclosure. (BYO spa!) Four double bedrooms each offer expansive wardrobes and superb natural light, including the master that is particularly roomy and provides the benefit of ensuite, walk-in-robe, and personal outdoor access. Meanwhile, the main bathroom encompasses a deep relaxing bath (BYO book and glass of wine!) with a separate shower and vanity. The toilet is conveniently independent, as is the laundry with its own backdoor. Storage options, inside and out, are perfect for a family's many needs.
Further temptations? There's a really cool creek that meanders the back boundary, having been a continuing source of delight for children, young and not-so-young. All levels of schooling are within easy reach, and the Solway Rail Station is so handy for commuters and day-trippers. Additionally, wining, dining and a variety of shopping facilities at the dynamic Kuripuni Village are just a pleasant 20-minute-or-so stroll away.
Warm and inviting, this family haven deserves to keep being filled with love, laughter, and memory making moments. Bring YOUR family to view, immediately!

Masterton – “Whakaoriori” – is the Wairarapa’s largest town; a vibrant, eclectic home to over 25,000 residents. Founded in 1854, the beloved township boasts a rich heritage and robust economy, with a vast number of industries and businesses making the most of its proximity to Wellington and laidback, picturesque lifestyle.
Set within the Wairarapa Valley, the Tararua Ranges offer a mighty backdrop to Masterton’s day-to-day living, either mantled in glistening snow or shimmering in a summery haze. Popular coastal villages are also in good distance and provide a variety of swimming beaches, holiday baches, fishing, snorkling, and surfing options, all within friendly local communities.
Nature lovers? Golfers? Wine lovers? Off-the-gridders? Artistes? Farmers or hobby lifestylers? Families seeking excellent schooling? Retirees desiring an idyllic, relaxed retirement? Or those business-focussed individuals looking for the best of all worlds? Opportunities simply abound in this beautiful place we call home.
Approximately 90 minutes away, reaching Wellington is an enjoyable train ride, or a spectacular drive over the Remutaka Hill Road. Martinborough, Greytown, Carterton and Featherston are all additional Wairarapa townships boasting many attractions, experiences, and beauties of their own.
Don’t take our word for it: come and explore all that Masterton has to offer.
We, here at LJ Hooker Masterton, are Locals looking after Locals, and we want to welcome you in, to share our treasures.
