Private Character Bungalow in heart of Otumoetai

This charming bungalow was brought to life through a meticulous conversion from a solid Kauri schoolhouse, situated on a private 3,308sq m nestled in to a north facing hollow in the heart of Otumoetai.

The perfect home for those character and nature lovers, now warmly insulated and repainted through-out, you are invited to embrace the lessons learnt by living expansively in a compact space. Delight in the lofty spacious open plan living space where sun cascades through high windows. Eat and entertain from the Rimu kitchen, while keeping toasty warm from the newly installed wood burner fireplace. Walk through the French doors to the generously proportioned master bedroom and office. Soak in the claw foot bath and watch the leaves sway across the windows.

A sunny veranda wraps around the front of the home and leads down to the native bush, garden, and lawns beyond with plenty of room for the kids and pets to explore and play.

The site forms two 'triangles', the upper one where trees surround the home, the lower one a semi-wilderness where gentle banks which could become a canvas for a keen gardener. A lovely setting with a paper road on the right-hand side and the Waiaka Reserve on the left. The perfect home for those character home and nature lovers, an Air BnB, vacation home/base, your options are endless.

Wake to the sound of bird life and enjoy learning all the joys of living in your private green urban landscape where you can hardly see a neighbour yet pop into the CBD in five minutes; and you are handy to the harbour and the seaside.
