12 Tulloch Street, St Johns Hill, Whanganui

St Johns Hill sanctuary - style and space

Situated down a private driveway and bordered by mature trees and shrubs, lies the hidden gem that is 12 Tulloch Street. The vendors have owned the property for over 30 years and have lovingly renovated and extended the original 1950s home to raise their family here.
The entranceway leads into a generous area that is almost a living space, and all other parts of the house can be reached from here. The living room is expansive and has French doors framing the rural views and leading out to one of three kwila decks. The house is flooded with natural light, and easy access to the decks and gardens means seamless al fresco dining and easy summer gatherings spilling outside.
The considered use of native timbers adds a warmth and texture to many of the rooms and the open plan kitchen/family room is no exception. There is plenty of preparation space, and a gorgeous walk-in pantry. There is space for a casual dining table here and there is also a separate formal dining room. The master bedroom is separated from the living areas and will wow you the moment you step inside. The high ceiling is clad in stunning NZ white oak and you will enjoy the wood burner in the cooler months. A large walk-in wardrobe offers great storage and there is even a kitchenette. There are three other bedrooms, conveniently provided for by two bathrooms with separate toilets. One of the bedrooms would make a perfect study, featuring built-in solid wood bookcases.
The gardens (2,349 sqm more or less) showcase many mature trees that have been carefully added to by the owners over the years. There is a separate area for the veggie garden and shed for tools. The double garage is spacious and there is also a separate carport, plus other off-street parking.
This property really does showcase the best of St Johns Hill and sits comfortably in the top end of the market. It is difficult to do this property justice with mere words so contact Jean or Rachel to arrange a viewing and be prepared to fall in love with everything this home has to offer.
