Step back in time to the early 1900s, when Waipu's pioneering spirit was flourishing. Imagine a bustling farming community where traditions ran deep-established families like the McKays crafting grand homes for their sons and new brides, marking the shift from humble pioneer cottages to symbols of prosperity and love. This enchanting weatherboard villa, built around 1910-1915 with a McKay family connection deeply rooted in Waipu's rich history, infuses the property with the warmth of a bygone era on a generous 6,177m² (more or less) of lush, storybook grounds.
Now, fast-forward to today: this 3-bedroom heritage gem, complete with two living rooms for versatile family gatherings, has been lovingly renovated to blend vintage allure with modern comfort. Picture yourself under a brand-new roof, cocooned in insulation throughout the walls, ceiling, and underfloor for year-round coziness. The classic polished native timber floors, soaring native timber ceilings, and exquisite wooden joinery shine brighter than ever, complemented by a Kent-style fire and efficient wall panel heaters that chase away any chill. Outside, adventure awaits with a handy sleepout for guests or hobbies, a massive woodshed for all your storage needs, and a spacious "Skyline"-type double garage ready for vehicles or projects.
Embrace the tranquility here-a true Zen oasis where days unfold in peaceful serenity and nights reveal a breathtaking canopy of stars. This lovely old girl isn't just a house; she's a piece of Waipu's soul, meticulously restored and eagerly awaiting her next stewards to create memories anew
