Superbly located on one of Whanganui's most prestigious streets, this elegant manor home was designed by Robert Talboys in the Tudor Revival style. The substantial 405sqm (more or less) two storied stucco home was built in the early 1930s and is nestled on parklike grounds in sought-after St Johns Hill.
Stepping in from the traditional porch you are welcomed by an understated grandeur. Explore the two comfortable living spaces on the ground level, both a formal lounge and a glorious glassed-in sunroom. This lovely space is superb for entertaining or relaxing with family and friends, with French doors to the classically landscaped garden and large patio perfect for barbeques. The comfortable family kitchen with sunny breakfast nook and separate dining room are waiting for new owners to adapt these spaces as they wish.
Venture upstairs - or why not take the lift? - where you will find beautifully appointed bedrooms including the sizeable master suite, with en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. Three additional bedrooms cater for all the family, and there is a very spacious main bathroom on this floor. There is a separate powder room on the ground floor for comfort and convenience.
A double internal access garage provides storage for cars, tools and toys, and boasts a separate toilet and hand basin. A spacious self-contained studio apartment has been built above the garage which is currently configured as a large office and sitting area, with a kitchenette and a full bathroom.
The beautiful 2,055sqm (more or less) section attracts good sun and offers private, carefully curated and fully landscaped gardens. There is also opportunity to subdivide the land with appropriate consent.
