3/17 Waerenga Road, Otaki, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

Less upkeep means more time to get on with the things you'd rather be doing. This modern two-bedroom home keeps life comfortably simple, with an immaculately presented interior, manageable outdoor space and everyday amenities within easy walking distance.

The open-plan kitchen and living area makes good use of the home's compact footprint. Stacker doors connect the lounge directly with the west-facing concrete patio, creating an easy extension of the living space and making the most of the afternoon sun.

Both bedrooms are doubles, giving you flexibility for guests, hobbies or working from home. The modern bathroom has a separate shower, while a separate toilet is a practical addition for everyday living.

A heat pump takes care of comfort, and the internal-access single garage provides secure parking along with the laundry, including a tub and space for a washing machine and dryer. There's also external access directly from the garage.

Outside is deliberately straightforward. A flat section, lawn, established planting and patio give you enough outdoor space to enjoy without creating another big list of jobs for the weekend.

Location is another big part of the appeal. Township shops, supermarkets, cafés and bakeries, the medical centre, library, primary schools and bus routes are all close by, making it easy to leave the car at home for many of the everyday essentials.

For downsizers ready to simplify, or investors looking for a modern and well-presented property in a convenient location, this is an easy home to understand and an even easier one to live in.
