That's how I feel about this extremely rare example of character-filled living in sleepy, historic Tokaanu Village.

Sited on a sun baked and low maintenance freehold section, this property sings to its past in a way that will take you gently by the heart and make you feel right at home. Crafted in the 1940's and enjoyed over the following eight decades, 36 Atutahi Street now invites a new family to be the proud owners.

Enter through the covered, restful veranda into the home and be flanked by native Matai walls and floors, original feature architraves and deeply framed windows.

Three super-sized bedrooms - one with bathroom, spacious lounge with its pristine original ceiling and stone open fire place and a newer heat pump for added comfort, generously proportion farm-style kitchen and dining room with modern free-standing oven, large scullery, large laundry and utility room and a beautifully presented vintage second bathroom. The home is insulated to floor and ceiling. Outside there's an historic thermal bathing house with dual pools and its cool yester-year vibe.

Finally, completing the improvements is a very large auxiliary building or garage with enough space to park multiple cars or to use as a workshop.

Here is your opportunity to own an exceptional piece of local craftsmanship don't wait, don't ponder, call today and ask for a personal viewing of this vintage beauty.
