Tucked away down a long drive in Palmerston Norths most prestigious and tightly held suburb. Built in 1912, this character-filled residence has been lovingly held by the current owners for 23 years. They have carefully restored its original charm while upgrading where it matters, delivering the romance of a bygone era with the ease of modern living. From the moment you step inside, the warmth and craftsmanship are evident. Thoughtful modern touches, including a high-end, spacious, contemporary kitchen, complement restored character features. The open-plan dining area opens to a private, sun-soaked patio - ideal for relaxed entertaining. The home offers four bedrooms plus a sunroom currently used as a home office, providing flexibility for families or professionals. The bathroom is lavish and spacious with double sinks, and a second toilet adds everyday convenience. Comfort is assured year-round with radiator central heating, ceiling and (partial underfloor) insulation, and some walls re-lined and insulated. Gas infinity hot water ensures there is always plenty to go around. Set on a large and private, fully fenced rear section with a sliding gate, the outdoor spaces are peaceful and secure. A large front carport, roomy single garage/workshop, attic storage, garden shed, and playhouse complete the picture. Zoned for Palmerston Norths top schools, including PNBHS, PNGHS, PNINS, College Street Normal, and Winchester Street. Located close to the Manawatu River walkways, Manawatu Golf Club, and all that makes Hokowhitu so highly sought after, this is a rare opportunity in an exceptional location.
