'THE BLOCK' MOTUEKA STYLE

Here's a challenge for 2015. Renovate this comfortable 1960s home and create a tasteful twenty first century suburban 'crib'. The task in hand is made so much easier by the fact that the home tidy, comfortable and well maintained both inside and out, enabling you move in tackle each job methodically. Positioned for all day sun the home sits on a flat, 824sqm fully-fenced section. Offering three bedrooms each with built-in wardrobes, a lounge with a wood burner and tiled hearth; a sun room, laundry and a timber kitchen with an adjoining diner, the decor is traditional - but nothing a little flair and imagination can't fix. One of the bonuses is the quality carpet throughout the home is fairly neutral and well worth keeping, plus the hot water cylinder was replaced a couple of years ago, too. The family bathroom comprises of a shower over the bath and vanity unit while alongside, there's a separate toilet with hand basin. Outside the large double garage with workshop space, off-street parking and various other outbuildings offers plenty of storage for vehicles, tools and sporting equipment. The flower filled borders will delight anyone with green thumbs and there are plenty of flat lawn areas where the children can play safely. Create a vegetable garden filled with produce on which you can feast al fresco, whilst also enjoying the view of the Western Ranges. The peaceful location offers a welcome break from the hubbub of the High Street, which conveniently is only a short walk or drive from your door. There aren't many homes around with this much scope, so if you're looking for one 'out of the box' then 8 York Street is guaranteed to appeal.
