18 Hutchison Crescent, Durie Hill, Whanganui

Sweet retreat on quiet street

Hutchison Crescent is a quiet tree-lined street, where the loudest sounds to disturb a summer afternoon are the cicadas and a serenading Tui. Number 18 is prettily ensconced in mature greenery, making the privacy almost complete.
Step inside and be charmed by the simple elegance of native timber floors and light-filled spaces. The lounge has bespoke joinery with lockable drawers, and an in-set wood burner in the traditional fireplace.
The kitchen/dining is spacious and well set out, with plenty of cupboard and bench space and room for a dining table. The back door leads to the laundry and rear mudroom, and the separate toilet. The bathroom at the end of the hall has a deep old-fashioned tub with a shower over, and a modern vanity with tiled splashback.
The front bedroom is a light, generous double, and the rear bedroom has built-in shelving and a double wardrobe, with French doors out to the fabulous rear deck which wraps around the house on two sides. The deck is a lovely quiet spot for a morning coffee or an evening beverage, and leads out to the quaint, lush cottage garden.
The backyard is a little slice of paradise, with vegetables and fruit trees interspersed with native shrubs and flowering plants. There is a chook run with coop, two separate fenced areas, two lock-up garden sheds and a lean-to for firewood.
This little gem would make an ideal first home, downsizer or investment, and is waiting for new owners to appreciate this lovely spot. We look forward to seeing you at the open home or call Duncan and Kim today to arrange your own private viewing.
