64 Starveall Street, Brightwater, Tasman

Come home to village life

Tranquil country-style living just a walk to village cafe, shops and school makes this appealing three bedroom plus study home a delight for families. Historic Brightwater's friendly, welcoming community awaits new owners of this brick-clad home, elevated for all-day sun and peaceful views, and backing on to a paddock to add to the rural ambience. Look across farmland to the green Brightwater hills from your garden patio. Down a private laneway, shared with just one other home, this smartly-presented home is surrounded by lawn and gardens, and has ample parking space for cars and boat. The home is so comfortable with three spacious bedrooms plus a study or fourth, single. A thoughtful layout with two separate living areas and a master bedroom set privately away from the main bedroom wing. The children can have their own space while parents entertain in the spacious living room where French doors open to a covered terrace and garden - ideal for barbecues. A well-equipped kitchen which is open to both family and living rooms, a generous laundry and lots of storage space add to family convenience - and handymen and women will welcome the larger-than-normal 43sqm double garage with workshop space. The living room is warmed by a cosy log fire (plumbed as a wet-back) which also ducts warmth to the family room. The house has been recently re-carpeted with thick underlay. While your setting is quiet and country-like, the well-regarded Brightwater School is so handy, and it's a brief stroll to Ellis Street with its cafe, Four Square grocery shopping, Sprig & Fern and much more. If village life, with its neighbourliness and community spirit appeals, this is a property you should see. There's a busy local sports and community activity scene, with tennis and squash courts, skatepark, the community hall, Wanderers' rugby ground and a monthly summer market. A play centre, kindergarten and Plunket rooms are all here too.
