Presented to the market for the first time in 40 years, this lifestyle property is a great opportunity for those seeking the tranquillity of a rural location and the scope to create a blissful retreat within a short commute of the city.
Set amongst established grounds, the character home has well and truly stood the test of time and remains in near original condition leaving it ripe for renovation and enhancement. The layout of the open plan living, kitchen and dining is perfect for easy family living and the large kitchen provides ample storage and bench space. In addition, there is a separate lounge with access to the garden. Currently configured as a three bedroom home the third bedroom (single size) could just as easily be a sunroom. Each of the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and are serviced by one bathroom and two toilets. Leadlight windows and a sunny window seat are special features in the master bedroom. Comfort levels are enhanced in the home with the two heat pumps and an active security system for both the house and garage will give peace of mind.
Live the good life with plenty of room for chooks and growing your own vegetables and fruit trees. A glasshouse attached to the side of the garage has electricity to run a light and heat pad. One paddock with an established shelter belt offers options for a variety of uses and the property includes an open front shed for exterior storage plus a large double garage with workbench. The property has productive soils, its own well and brand new septic tank. You'll avoid the rush of the hectic school run with the school bus running right past the gate.
Our vendor's decision to downsize has created a chance to acquire a lifestyle property where the possibilities for enhancement are endless; ideally located within a five minute drive of Tai Tapu village or Lincoln. Call us to arrange a viewing today.
