Character meets modern convenience

NOW SOLD

Emanating the charm and elegance of the 1920s, this stunning two-storey home blends perfectly into its surroundings as if it's always resided there, but is the remarkable result of an early 2000s relocation combined with a seamless extension. Displaying beautiful period features including Rimu panelling and leadlight windows, the home remains true to its heritage while enjoying the benefits of modern enhancements including a new kitchen, new carpet, and LED lighting throughout. The generous 250sqm floorplan accommodates family life with ease and incorporates four bedrooms. The master suite, on the upper level, features a luxurious tiled bathroom and spacious walk-in wardrobe. A further three bedrooms, also found upstairs, are supported by a family bathroom with a semi-ensuite configuration for added convenience. A smaller fifth bedroom, or home office, is located on the ground floor, along with a third bathroom. The open plan living spaces extend easily to the well-tended gardens, which offer numerous spots to relax and entertain along with plenty of lawn for children and pets to enjoy. Heating options are modern and comprehensive, with two heat pumps for instant warmth in the open plan living room and the master bedroom, zoned underfloor heating in the kitchen and all three bathrooms, plus a remote-controlled gas fire installed in the original fireplace for cosy winter ambiance.

A double garage provides ample parking and storage and accommodates the home's laundry, which features another superb feature from the past - a handy laundry chute for delivering washing from the master suite robe! Enjoying an 803sqm dual access section, the fully-fenced grounds have been planted for both privacy and pleasure, with mature trees for shelter and a wide range of blooms ready for picking. A must-see for buyers seeking delightful character without compromising on modern convenience. Contact the team today for more information. www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/5513723
