Homes like this carry a kind of presence you feel straight away - high ceilings, native timber floors underfoot, and rooms that were designed to be lived in to the fullest. Set on a flat 802m² section in Morningside, this classic five bedroom two bathroom family home offers the kind of charm, proportions and flexibility that are getting harder to find.

The main living room feels calm and welcoming, framed by tall windows, character detailing and a wood burner that gives the home its warmth. The added bonus of a rumpus room gives the kids their own lounge to relax in or provides a dedicated work-from-home space. The large kitchen and dining area sits ready for everyday meals, busy mornings and long evenings around the table. From here, doors lead directly to the deck, making outdoor dining an easy part of daily life.

Five bedrooms give the home genuine versatility, whether that means growing families or guest rooms. The large attic room with views over the city is the perfect hideout or teenage pad. The bathrooms are practical and well positioned, with one offering the luxury of a master en-suite. A separate laundry keeps the household running smoothly. Multiple rooms have been recently re-plastered and added fresh paint, wallpaper, brand new carpets and window dressings, making this a home you can walk straight in to.

The backyard offers a generous lawn framed by established trees including feijoa, apple, mandarin, orange, lemon, lime, plums. Plus a veggie patch with plenty of room for kids, pets, gardens or future plans. A large double garage and workshop area, along with additional sheds, and parking space for six cars creates room for projects, tools, vehicles or weekend hobbies.

Positioned in Morningside, Whangārei, it’s a practical base close to the city centre, schools, shops and everyday amenities while still offering the breathing room of a full section.
