A home with history. A section with space. A future full of possibilities.
For 33 years, this special home has been more than just a house, it has been the backdrop to family life, celebrations, everyday moments and countless memories. Now, after more than three decades of ownership, our vendors are ready to pass the baton to another family who can make their own mark and create the next chapter in its history.

Thought to have been built in the early 1920s, the home has the character and presence that comes with more than a century of life. While times have changed around it, there is something wonderfully enduring about a home of this age. It has evolved, adapted and been cherished, and today offers a surprisingly flexible configuration with plenty of scope for its new owners to bring their own ideas.
Set amongst mature trees and established gardens, the generous section has an almost park-like quality. There is space, privacy and a sense of permanence here that is increasingly hard to find. Whether you are drawn to the gardens, the scale of the land, the possibilities within the home, or simply the opportunity to secure a foothold in sought-after Cashmere, this is a property with plenty to offer.

The home's configuration offers plenty of flexibility for families, extended family or those simply wanting space to spread out.
Upstairs, the main living level features a separate kitchen and dining area, along with two living spaces, creating plenty of room for both relaxed family time and entertaining. The master bedroom enjoys the convenience of its own ensuite, while a second room provides the option of a bedroom, home office, study or games room. A further bathroom services this level.

Downstairs, the accommodation continues with a large living/rumpus room, three additional bedrooms and another family bathroom. This lower level could work particularly well for children and teenagers, guests, extended family or simply as a separate zone for recreation and relaxation. This adaptable layout is one of the home's real strengths offering options today, while leaving plenty of scope for its next owners to make the spaces work for their own needs.

There is excellent off-street parking with a single garage providing secure everyday parking, complemented by an additional separate double garage (being sold in its current as is condition).

Families will appreciate the highly regarded school zoning, including Cashmere High School and Cashmere Primary School, while the established Cashmere setting provides the lifestyle appeal that has made this area so enduringly popular.

There is no denying that a home with this history comes with opportunities. This is not about presenting a perfectly polished, finished product it is about recognising the bones, scale, position and potential of a much-loved home and imagining what it could become.
