Set on a generous 873m2 section, this charming cottage delivers three bedrooms, two living areas and spacious deck along with the vintage garage and a carport set in a mature tranquil backyard that’s ready for everything from backyard cricket to BBQs and chilling out. 

Built in the 1930s art deco period of solid rimu from the rafters to the polished floors, all the main rooms have typically beautiful moulded ceilings with gorgeous picture-front windows with great light and sun. Heat-pumps supplement the working open fireplace in the dining room and a cosy woodstove in the lounge. The modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and bathroom with shower over the bath make life easy and the separate toilet has its own vanity for convenience. A door opens from the kitchen to the deck where coffees and conversation can be had while keeping an eye on the kids. 

Good underfloor insulation includes ground sheeting and the ceiling is insulated under the colour-steel roof. The cottage sits on concrete piles and has been rewired.

Marton offers a wonderfully central location equidistant from both Palmerston North and Whanganui and sitting between highways 1 and 3.
