There’s something special about a home that has already held a century of stories, and is ready for yours next. Positioned in one of Palmerston North’s most tightly held pockets, just moments from the hospital and around the corner from Russell Street and Palmerston North Boys High School, this is the kind of address families quietly hope will come up one day. Walk to school, pop to work, be home in minutes. It’s convenience that makes everyday life easier. Built in the 1920’s and beautifully carried forward through time, this 144m2 (more or less) character home still wears its heritage proudly - yet inside, it’s been thoughtfully modernised for the way families truly live. The heart of the home is generous and welcoming, a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living space where homework happens at the table, dinner simmers on the stove, and conversations spill easily outdoors. French doors open to not one, but two sides of a wraparound deck - morning coffee in the sun, evening barbecues with friends, children darting in and out barefoot all summer long. Three bedrooms provide space for growing families, with the master offering its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, a retreat at the end of busy days. The family bathroom has been stylishly updated and bathed in natural light thanks to a skylight overhead. A separate laundry and separate toilet make the practicalities of family life that little bit smoother. Outside, the fully fenced and landscaped section feels secure and private, room for pets, scooters, backyard cricket and birthday parties. There’s ample off-street parking, plus a large single garage with a permitted sleepout attached, complete with its own toilet - perfect for teenagers craving independence, extended family, guests, or even a work-from-home setup. Homes in this location, especially those that blend character, flexibility and true family appeal, are tightly held for good reason. 39 Roy Street isn’t just a house. It’s where school mornings begin, where Christmas lunch stretches onto the deck, where children grow up and memories settle into the walls. Don’t delay your viewing, call today.
