Discover the enduring charm of this character home perfectly positioned on a 'kiwi quarter acre'. It is so easy to understand why the current owners have loved living here for the past 35 years not only for its superb location, in a tree-lined street but also its close proximity to the Cashmere Hills.

Fastidiously maintained, modernised and extended over the years to accommodate the needs their family, while still retaining the classic features of a bygone era; pretty lead light windows, wood panelling and French doors.

A fabulous light, bright country-style kitchen which has peaceful vistas of the meticulously maintained garden and combines classic features with today's 'must haves' such as an under bench oven, gas hob, dishwasher and walk-in pantry. Superb indoor-outdoor from the adjoining open plan, casual living which flows through two sets of French doors. Seamlessly interconnecting to the separate, formal dining, which exudes a sense of luxury yet retains the original feature fireplace. An adjacent room provides options as a study, office or fifth bedroom.

The expansive formal living has stunning timber panelling, a window seat and the original tiled fireplace, which surrounds the recently installed heat pump. A naturally relaxing environment with large window to admire the hill views.

With as many as five bedroom options the home will accommodate your family perfectly. Downstairs, two large bedrooms retaining character features and with modern decor have access to a modernised bathroom which includes a statement claw foot bath with classic shower attachment, plus there's a separate toilet for guests.

Situated upstairs are two further overly generous bedrooms. The large, master suite has a walk-in robe and doors opening to its own north facing balcony. Also upstairs is an additional bathroom and separate WC. Ample storage throughout, a separate laundry, double garage and garden shed only add to the appeal.

All of this nestled in a 1,101sqm section with established garden with roses, mature trees, shrubs and a delightful childrens' play house. There is still room for those with green fingers to add your personal touch; there is even space for a vegetable garden.

Reputable school zones inducing; Cashmere High and Somerfield Primary with Somerfield Park a short stroll away. Zoned TC2 and all EQC work completed. Reluctantly, our clients have made the decision to downsize and take their family's memories with them. This 240sqm home is a beautifully presented package and it's ready for you and your family to begin the next chapter.
