Outstanding Character Development!
The style and essence of a traditional New Zealand bungalow home has truly proven to last the test of time – and with some care and consideration, they can still deliver to their full potential within today’s modern living standards.This adorable family home is a great example of what can be achieved – integrating classic character, with the practicalities of a modern era.
Crucial renovations have resulted in a home which has a smooth flow of layout and good use of space, whilst the overall look and feel, is consistent and natural.The kitchen has been completely overhauled and finished as a modernised galley kitchen - which opens splendidly to the covered entertaining deck (perfect for Summer BBQ’s!) and adjoining conveniently to the informal dining / living area - with a lovely bay-window seat.
Repainting and new flooring has been laid in neutral tones, with the owners taking advantage of the opportunity to also install underfloor heating in the tiled bathroom. Warmth, of which our ancestors seemed to be much more hardy against, has been kindly thought of, with the installation of a heat-pump and DVS system - along with the log-burner in the formal living area, which makes those stormy movie-nights all the more pleasurable.
The charm has certainly not been lost throughout the home, with large room spaces, timber-paneling throughout, detailed bay-windows and high ceilings – whilst the master bedroom opens beautifully via French doors to the private verandah area outside.
Positioned on a perfectly sized section of 718m² with multiple zones, provides great space for family member and pets - with a flourishing garden, shaded by the blooming Magnolia and Kowhai trees under which many a BBQ will be enjoyed this Summer.
Situated in a convenient city-fringe location within a great family neighbourhood, and with great space and character, this lovely home is PERFECT to start growing cherished family memories.
