Welcome to 188 Albert Street, an immaculate character bungalow where the elegance of its original era has been beautifully enhanced, complemented by modern comforts and the enviable convenience of Hokowhitu. Set gracefully behind manicured gardens, with excellent off-street parking and double garaging, this home makes an immediate impression. Beyond the beautiful facade lies an interior rich in warmth, craftsmanship and character. Beautiful native rimu, ornate ceilings and exquisite period details create an atmosphere of enduring charm, while generous proportions and multiple living spaces provide a wonderful sense of space and sanctuary. An extensive renovation in 2002 thoughtfully introduced modern functionality, with the open-plan kitchen and dining area creating a natural centrepiece for everyday living and entertaining. From here, the home flows effortlessly outdoors to a private rear deck, tranquilly framed by established gardens and accompanied by birdsong. Comfort has been considered just as carefully, with good insulation, a ducted heat pump system and a gas fire in the living room providing warmth and ambience. Peacefully at the rear of the home, the master suite is particularly serene, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and French doors opening onto the deck and gardens. Two further double bedrooms, each with wardrobes, are serviced by the main bathroom, a beautiful space featuring a classic claw-foot bath, pedestal basin and exquisite lead-light window. This home has an unmistakable quality, the craftsmanship, the native timbers, the proportions, and the layers of history are simply not easy to replicate today. And with sought-after schooling, village amenities and the best of Hokowhitu close at hand, the setting is every bit as compelling as the home itself. Contact Crosland & Co. for further information, or we look forward to welcoming you at the open home.
