Property details

Listing # WAR42698 | Listed on 28 November

Location is on point for this 131m² bungalow built in the 1920s, centrally located in the township to town services, amenities and schools.

The home retains so much of its original style and character, making this an exciting find for people who love a home with history. There are three bedrooms, one with an external door opening to the decking, closest to the street, making this an ideal work from home space.

The remaining two bedrooms are spacious, with generous windows that feature stained glass windows with bold geometric insets. These are classic features of a 1920’s house, along with the beamed high ceilings and the wood panel ceilings, most likely from locally milled Kauri or Rimu.

The modern touches include a certified rewire in 2025, a permitted free standing wetback fireplace and the bedrooms and living room have been relined, with most of their walls insulated.

Rustic Rimu timber sarking in the kitchen provides real texture and character, a nod to the era of the dwelling, and there is an opportunity to design this space exactly how you want it to function.

A later extension containing the toilet room and laundry room requires some attention to the cladding and roof (the main roof is in better condition) and an old structure sitting on skids (at the end of the deck) could be taken away to reveal the weatherboard cladding still in place behind it.

There is the essential garage with plenty of off street parking and generous surrounding lawn areas. Two garden sheds provide additional storage, and the property is fully fenced.

This is a property with position and potential. Restore this prominently located and much loved bungalow beauty to its former glory.
