39 Grey Street, College Estate, Whanganui

Old world allure behind the red door

Step in through the red door and fall in love with this delightful bungalow on popular Grey Street. Each space more charming than the last, this lovely family home has had a lot of the hard work done, without compromising any of the character that makes her special.
From the wide wood-panelled hall, to the deep bay window (with seat!), and the polished wooden floors to the leadlight windows, there is no mistaking the peerage of this College Estate sweetheart. The formal lounge has the timber detailing, picture rail and ornate fireplace you would expect in this calibre of property and looks out over the iconic deep front porch - the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a refreshing drink at the end of a long day. A modern kitchen with gas hobs and electric stove blends with the characterful dining space, complete with mantlepiece and two deep storage cupboards.
There are three generous bedrooms, two come with built-in wardrobes. The elegant front bedroom boasts the lovely bay window with window seat, and a decorative fireplace and native timber floors. There is an additional fourth room or office to the rear of the home, with double doors out onto a private deck, from where you can enjoy your flat, fully-fenced backyard.
The family bathroom has a shower over bath, vanity and a new toilet - and the addition of a second combined bathroom and laundry will cater for those busy mornings. Further mod cons include an Infinity gas hot water system and HRV, and the two gas heaters and newly installed freestanding woodburner will keep you warm next winter.
Our vendors have removed all the scrim and regibbed the walls, with the front and rear bedrooms fully plastered and painted. The finishing touches required will allow you to put your stamp on this charming home and bring her fully into the 21st century.
