Mus t see for first home buyers & character lovers.

This timeless bungalow has its gorgeous original character intact, beautiful native timber features throughout and awaits your TLC to breathe new life into it for another generation or two. With solid bones and a classic style, the bungalow remains a popular choice that never goes out of fashion for families wanting to create a real kiwi home. This one is ripe for the picking. You will see the original character from the moment you eye the distinctive skirted weather board columns at the front of the house. The large porch facing the street is sheltered by wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafters giving a perfect welcome to visitors and provides a relaxing place to settle on balmy evenings. Step through the front door to a wide hall lined with rich native timber panelling and picture railing. Striking panelled ceilings with beams feature in the hall, lounge and one of the three double bedrooms. A picture perfect, bay window seat faces the street in both this bedroom and lounge. Not to be outdone, the other two bedrooms are finished with wonderful tongue and groove ceilings. The lounge and the kitchen have open fireplaces with original cast iron grates in brick and tiled fire surrounds each framed by a generous rimu mantel piece. The lounge also has a heat pump. While this 1920’s bungalow has retained most of its glorious character, previous owners have made modifications to the kitchen and bathroom sometime in the past. The coal range was removed but its brick nook still remains. The bathroom is spacious with bath, vanity and a decent sized shower. Both the kitchen and bathroom are ready to be transformed and modernised to your very own tastes, although they are perfectly functional for this property which is currently rented at $320 per week. A generous utility area for the laundry that easily fits an extra fridge/freezer sits at the rear of the house. The sheltered back porch that also has overhang eaves, steps down to a private concreted courtyard that would make a great spot for barbeques. Concrete drive way and paths surround the house which is all set on a 600 m² low maintenance section with carport and shed. The property is well fenced and gated for children and pets. There is so much rimu detailing in this home that could never be replicated again. The craftsmanship and finishing is a treasure, including the lead light glass windows, the native timber skirting’s and architraves around windows and doors. The original doorknobs, latches and hinges all help to give this property its’ unique character. If you’re a lover of character homes or timber craftsmanship this is a must to see. This home sits snugly in a popular neighbourhood, on an easy care section, and its’ room sizes are generous for family living.
