This grand old lady is the ideal property if you are looking for a place to live the good life.
Originally built in 1905, this 199m² property served as the town bank and banker's residence, with Stanly Street being the main thoroughfare in Eketahuna. Later, it functioned as the district's maternity home. For many years, this grand old lady has been a family home.
The property features five bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with a deep claw-foot bath), three toilets, and a separate wet room/laundry.
The kitchen boasts north-facing French doors that open onto the back veranda and section.
The generous open-plan dining and living area is warmed by a Metro Eco freestanding wood burner, offering ample space for family and friends.
Soak up the character and charm with 10-foot high native paneled ceilings, a wide central hall, original skirtings, and the original stained-glass hall door, which once separated the public and private areas of the home.
The backyard is fenced and private, with a small single garage and a shelter. There is also plenty of off-street parking on this 1637m² section.
