Stylishly renovated Otaki home
A stylishly renovated taki home that combines vintage verve with modern living in a delightful setting, landscaped for low-maintenance and privacy is for sale close to the heart of the burgeoning township.
The enchanting property, at 127 Main Highway, comprises a stunning three-bedroom house with views out towards the Tararua range and a gorgeous sleep-out.
Having just been reduced in price to $650,000, it represents great value, Derek Kelly, of Kelly & Co Realty, says.
‘‘The refreshed asking price is very attractive given the level of renovation, new appliances, established garden and the character that the home possesses as well as the excellent central location.’’
He points out another benefit is the highway will become a local road once the Peka Peka to
taki section of the Kāpiti Expressway is completed, expected prior to Christmas.
‘‘So it will no longer be a state highway. As well as being quieter with less traffic and a lower speed limit, it will enhance the area with expanded walking and cycling options, safeguard its character and amenities, and improve bus and rail connections.’’
The sunny 90sqm house is set well back from the road, on a flat 769-square metre easy-care section with original trees, native shrubs, bark garden beds, a boxed driveway, and a mix of railway sleepers, paving and pebble stones.
The ribbed glass front door opens off a large deck into a superbly presented, freshly painted interior with native floorboards in the entrance.
The newly carpeted lounge has a new heat pump and a lovely leafy outlook.
The remodelled kitchen links the living and dining rooms. It includes a new range with a ceramic cooktop, tiled splashback, new rangehood and dishwasher, and a breakfast bar.
The dining room opens to a private courtyard, as does one of the carpeted bedrooms, while the bathroom has a shower, vanity, and toilet.
The spacious sleep-out has its own courtyard and covered west-facing deck.
‘‘The home combines a great aesthetic throughout with easycare indoor-outdoor living and proximity to shops, schools and public transport,’’ Kelly says.
‘‘The vendor is as motivated to sell as anyone who inspects this property will be to buy.’’
