This charming character home with solid bones was given a fresh lease on life in 2021/2022 , undergoing an extensive renovation that blends timeless character with modern comfort. Inside, the layout was reimagined to suit contemporary living. The result? A warm, functional home that retains its period charm while offering the ease of a modern house, complete with a wonderful leafy green outlook.
The transformation includes a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area, a new custom kitchen, and a fantastic family bathroom. But the work goes far beyond the obvious. Behind the scenes, the home has seen upgrades to piling, wiring, plumbing, double glazing, central heating, relining and insulation (floor, walls, ceiling), a new roof, and an exterior paint strip and repaint.
Thoughtful design choices are evident throughout. Period timbers have been repurposed as cupboard fronts, timber floors have been restored, and original details like the front door have been lovingly reconstructed from original plans.
Further details include:
-Three generous double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes
-Exceptional attic storage plus additional space below
-Modern family bathroom
-Large separate laundry
-Warm and dry with ceiling, underfloor and external walls insulated
-Rear section backing onto Rakau Road-offering potential for an elevated outdoor area or future development
-Garage on road reserve
