A beautiful old soul with some pretty fancy new kicks! Taking on a character reno and giving it a fresh new look without losing its heart and soul is no easy feat, but my vendors have nailed it here! This super affordable entry into one of Central Hawke's Bay's most loved villages has had a cosmetic glow-up, bringing style to the vintage vibe while celebrating its original charm, rustic timber detailing and character features. Inside, the uber-cool, sun-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area opens through French doors onto a wraparound deck - dawn to dusk, coffee to champagne, you can follow the sun! There are three bedrooms, including a generously sized upstairs retreat, plus not one but TWO refreshed bathrooms! Heat pump, ceiling and underfloor insulation, and outside there's a single garage on the family sized 1,032m2 section. And the location? Pretty hard to beat! Positioned on the cusp of the village, you're just a leisurely stroll from the bakery (home to some of the best pies in the land!), dairy, primary school, high school bus links and multisports park, with Hastings an easy 30-minute commute. Whether you're a first-home buyer, downsizer or simply someone who loves a bit of character, this beautiful abode deserves a look!
