The rare Riverdale bungalow
Tucked privately away from the road on a beautifully landscaped 833 m2 freehold section, this extensively renovated 1983 bungalow offers a combination rarely found in Awapuni: approximately 216 m2 of spacious, single-level living, multiple living areas, three bedrooms with genuine fourth-bedroom potential, two bathrooms and outstanding outdoor space. Lovingly upgraded by owners who intended to keep this substantial home in their family, it is now ready for its next chapter. Freshly painted inside and out, with new carpet, vinyl flooring and curtains throughout, the home combines character, comfort and modern practicality. The refreshed kitchen features newly painted cabinetry, new sink and tapware, electric cooking and a new rangehood, while character-style chandeliers and renewed timber finishes add warmth and personality. The versatile floorplan offers three bedrooms, including a generous primary bedroom with its own ensuite, plus a large additional room enclosed by attractive wooden sliding doors. Perfect as a fourth bedroom, guest suite, home office, media room, teenage retreat or second lounge, this flexibility is a real standout. Even configured as a fourth bedroom, there are still two exceptionally generous living areas, complemented by a sunny conservatory overlooking the garden. Both bathrooms have been comprehensively renovated with new vanities, basins, tapware, showers, bath and toilets. A separate family toilet and large laundry add further everyday convenience. Comfort is well catered for with two heat pumps, gas heating, a DVS ventilation and filtration system, new extractor fans and a newly installed continuous-flow infinity hot-water system. Updated plumbing and electrical work, a double internal-access garage and drive-on access complete the package. Outside, the level and fully fenced section delivers privacy, security and plenty of room for children, pets, gardening and entertaining. The expansive backyard may also provide future potential for a swimming pool or minor dwelling, subject to council approval and purchaser due diligence. Positioned in the peaceful and established Riverdale neighbourhood, you'll be close to river walkways, parks, shops and everyday amenities. Riverdale School is approximately a four-minute walk away, with Awatapu College also within easy reach. The owners are selling with genuine reluctance after investing significantly in restoring and improving a home they had hoped to keep for their sons. Their difficult decision creates an exceptional opportunity for another family to secure a spacious, private and beautifully renewed bungalow — with the hard work already done. Simply move in, settle down and enjoy a distinctive Awapuni family home where space, flexibility and quality improvements come together beautifully.

If you're looking for a home that gets all-day sun, has room to entertain, and sits in a handy location, then this one's definitely worth a look. Inside, you've got three bedrooms, a modern kitchen, and a good-sized living area that opens straight out onto the balcony. And being elevated above the street, it gives you that feeling of being on the second storey, with a great outlook to enjoy. Now, whether it's starting your morning with a coffee on the balcony or winding down at the end of the day, this is a home that makes the most of its sunny position. Out the back, you've got a good-sized section, a single garage, and a deck that's ready for those summer barbecues, having friends around, or family get-togethers that end up going a little longer than planned. The section is fully fenced too, giving the kids somewhere to run around and play. And being tucked away in a cul-de-sac, there's also a spot nearby for them to kick a ball around. Throw in being close to the shops and the racecourse, and you've got a home that ticks a lot of boxes without having to go far for the things you need. Three bedrooms, a modern kitchen, plenty of sunshine, and space to entertain. What more could you want? If you can see yourself living here, get in touch and come and check it out for yourself!
