Introducing the epitome of charm and convenience! Enter the white picket gate to be welcomed by the small, pretty front garden. Here the full northerly sun follows you along the short cobbled path to this beautiful Kauri Villa. Contained within are all the comforts of modern living. Underfloor and ceiling insulation maximise the warmth of the direct sunlight and wood-burner fireplace. Marry this with the DVS home ventilation system and the result is a dry and comfortable home. Recently re-roofed and new paint inside and out adds a new lease of life whilst retaining the inherent features of this old friend. Character is balanced by the modern touches of a refurbished kitchen, separate dining and lounge, two modern bathrooms, separate laundry, walk-in wardrobe and single garage. Step out to the private undercover back porch and deck leading you to the easy care grounds with a rear lawn that takes only minutes to mow. The convenience factor is undeniable with primary and secondary schools, and major supermarkets all within walking distance, or grab that latest bargain in town only moments away by car, or save yourself the parking and walk to town. Having raised their family here for several years, the sellers have purchased elsewhere making this very special piece of Whangarei's history available for ownership to you. For lovers of character and style - this should be a simple choice.
