Have you been dreaming of a move to the country? This lifestyle property in popular Brunswick is an increasingly rare find - a true farmlet where you can fulfil your dream of a pony for the kids or a few sheep or cows, yet close enough to town to make school runs and the daily commute a breeze.
This pretty, hedge-lined, stretch of Kaikokopu Road is an idyllic piece of Whanganui, and with a modern and comfortable Initial home, 1.3ha (more or less) in five paddocks and large front lawn, plus plenty of garaging and sheds, number 489 has all you need and more.
The family home has the characteristic warm wood-clad interior, with four double bedrooms, each with built-in storage. The master bedroom is separate from the remaining bedrooms and has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom, and a bay window overlooking the large deck.
The kitchen and dining are open plan, encouraging family time in the evenings, with a large new heat pump and fabulous indoor/outdoor flow out to the entertainers' deck. A freestanding wood burner in the generous lounge will keep the family warm in the cooler months. The family bathroom has a wet floor shower and full bath, and the toilet is separate. The laundry is handy to the back door, which has disabled access extending towards the garage, and looks out over the gently rolling paddocks behind.
Outdoors, the convenience continues, with a double garage plus workshop, two garden sheds, and a three-bay shed in the second paddock (one of the bays is enclosed with a roller door). There is a small orchard with abundant fruit trees, several more fruit trees dotted about the lush gardens, and raised vegetable beds behind the house.
For those who have been dreaming of becoming more self-sufficient without sacrificing the city convenience, this delightful lifestyle proposition beckons. Call Duncan or Kim for more information, or come and be charmed at the open homes.
