Stylish, spacious and simply irresistible
Exuding a stylish aura with its distinctive modern design and canted rooflines, this beautifully presented 2022 home is highly recommended for families seeking a spacious sanctuary designed for effortless living and fabulous outdoor entertaining. Set on a substantial 698 square metre section in Feilding’s tranquil northern fringe, 70 Port Street East is custom built and perfectly configured, offering enormous freedom to live the way you want.
According to real estate agent Lauren Pescini, it’s easy to be swept away by this gorgeous property. ‘‘Located in a soughtafter location close to transport, schools and shops, and less than 15 minutes from Palmerston North, it is packed with the wow factor,’’ she says. ‘‘The low maintenance home was specifically built to be something special that you won’t come across twice. Nothing has been spared in relation to detail or quality.’’
The home’s inspired design, impeccable construction and superior finishing are due to the fact that it was project managed by our owner Thomas James who has an obsessive eye for detail. ‘‘I wanted to create something with a little bit of the x-factor and outside the ordinarily spec’d town builds,’’ he explains. ‘‘It had to be a home that someone would fall in love with at first sight.’’
The home’s array of architectural features begins well before you enter the elegantly landscaped section. With its unique front fence custom-made out of railway sleepers, as well as the hand laid Otago schist on the front entrance pillars, the house looks impressive from the get-go.
As soon as the front door swings open, you are amidst bright, light-filled spaces. Beautifully crafted with care and class, the 210 square metre featurerich home has an immediate impression of reassuring quality and a designer’s hand at every turn. ‘‘I designed and sourced the materials myself which proved to be highly rewarding, plus I loved creating the indoor/ outdoor space ideal for hosting,’’ Thomas notes.
Capturing the essence of the home is the spacious open-plan living with a modern galley-style kitchen. With the sun cascading in from virtually all sides, and warmed by a gas fire, it extends out seamlessly to a large kwila deck fitted with PSP Clearvue Roofing to create an all-weather alfresco area. ‘‘This is our favourite part of the house, and we love opening up the big slider on a sunny afternoon and sitting outside to use the outdoor BBQ area with home grown veges from the garden,’’ Thomas says.
The easy-care lawns out back are fully fenced and ideal for children to play in. Thomas has added a couple of vege boxes but on the whole he has intentionally left it more or less like a blank canvas. ‘‘There is still plenty of room in the backyard for you to leave your own mark,’’ he says.
The sleeping accommodation comprises three sunny bedrooms, including the master which is serviced by an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, and opens out to the deck. The other bedrooms are serviced by a contemporary family bathroom with a bath.
Your parking options include a double internal access garage measuring in at 6.5m x 6.2m, offering plenty of space for your vehicles and storage needs.
Above all, it’s an easy property to maintain. ‘‘We are able to lock and leave but at the same
time it offers the perfect environment to relax and enjoy when we are home,’’ adds Thomas. ‘‘We are selling only because my partner and I need land for horses; she rides equestrian for NZ.’’
So if you want a high quality home in a sought after area, 70 Port Street East would be an ideal investment.
