Set within one of the Hospital areas most prestigious addresses, this magnificent 288m2 (more or less) grand English-style residence stands proudly on a beautifully private 811m2 (more or less) section - a timeless home of scale, character and refined modern comfort. Now vacant and ready for immediate possession, with extremely motivated vendors committed to meeting the market at auction. From the moment you arrive, the home impresses with its elegant presence, classic character detailing and seamlessly integrated modern renovations. Multiple living zones provide outstanding flexibility for families of all sizes - ideal for blended living, extended family arrangements, entertaining on a grand scale or even a home-based business. Beyond the street lies a peaceful private sanctuary of established gardens and leafy surrounds - your own tranquil oasis just minutes from the city. Enter through the grand foyer, where the downstairs master suite sits to one side and a formal lounge to the other, flowing through to a bright open-plan living hub with designer kitchen and scullery, additional living or dining space, and French doors opening to a sheltered entertaining deck complete with spa. Downstairs is complemented by a modern bathroom, large separate laundry and bonus office space, while upstairs offers five further bedrooms (or an additional family lounge and office?) and another modern bathroom - perfect for growing families or teenage retreat zones. Completing the package is a double garage, carport and ample off-street parking. With Palmerston North Hospital and the CBD just a short walk away, plus excellent school zoning, this is a blue-chip location offering lifestyle, prestige and convenience in equal measure. With the home empty and the vendors highly motivated, this property will be sold at auction - creating a genuine opportunity to secure a grand family residence in one of the city's most sought-after neighbourhoods.
