Full of Character & Delightful Spaces
Renovations completed and signed off in 2009 oriented the house and office/studio to the sun and garden whilst retaining the character of this 1920s family home. It's a quiet, private, spacious, pleasant and safe environment, and high and dry, well above flood zones, including June 2015.
Fully-fenced, there are many places for children to play, explore or build tree-huts. The three bedrooms are all double. Formal and informal living areas inside and outside are great for all kinds of entertainment and relaxation.
The office/studio across the courtyard is sufficiently separate to retain professional boundaries; could be an inspiring meditation/yoga retreat, weaving whare, studio for music, art or writing; or a private room for teenagers or boarder.
Many good storage spaces: under the chimney, window-boxes, in the bedrooms, laundry and tool shed and part-way up the stairs there's an original rimu-lined cubby with lighting.
