She found hers. Maybe you just found yours.



After only a year of loving this cottage, tending the garden, filling the kitchen with good smells, upgrading in many places, basking in the sunroom lapping up the afternoon light, she found the man of her dreams. Two homes between them, and only one life to live. Something had to give.



Lucky for you, it was this one.



Now it's your turn.



This pre-1920 character cottage reads like it was written for someone who wanted more than four walls and a mortgage. High stud throughout. Period embellishments that newer builds simply can't replicate, or even afford. Warm, sun-drenched rooms and a kitchen for a home-dweller who loves to nurture through food, with a bespoke scullery, gas hob, quality appliances, and a breakfast bar.



The infinity hot water means the shower after a long day runs as long as you need it to. Three roomy bedrooms. Two living areas. A sunroom that opens to deck and patio. Refreshed bathroom. New carpet throughout. Woodburner, heat pump, and ventilation/heat transfer system, so winter never wins. Re-wired and re-plumbed. Not the glamorous part of the story, but an important chapter.



Outside, the story continues. A stream crosses the 1,012sqm section via a small white bridge. Established fruit trees. Mature gardens. Ground lighting at night. The powered shed, the wood shed, and the large carport are the kind of details that make a life feel well arranged.



Three minutes to Otaki town. Quick expressway access beyond.



Every fairy tale needs the right setting. This one just became available.
