22A Haydon Street, Roslyn, Palmerston North, Manawatu / Wanganui, 4414, New Zealand
As you can see, it is quite extraordinary and would have attracted a lot of attention in those days and as it does today.
The beautiful curves, reminiscent of the Art Deco Era and the (new) idea that building a house to capture the sun as much as possible are encapsulated in this grand design.
Downstairs over 120sqm of living comprising very roomy modern open plan kitchen / dining /living attracting full morning sun. This large area opens to a spacious conservatory that would be fantastic during the warmer months for dining or getting out of the full sun.
The conservatory opens out to the beautifully maintained private grounds and garden.
The lounge is by anyone’s measurement BIG – curved windows across one entire wall, capture plenty of light and sun and views to the peaceful front garden.
There is also a downstairs bedroom with modern wet floor bathroom and separate, very smart WC for your visitors.
Upstairs there are more bedrooms than you will see in the average house – 5 in fact, one of which is currently the office. Three doubles and two singles, they all get wonderful light and have views of the grounds and beyond.
All are serviced by a modern bathroom.
Outside the 1860sqm section is beautifully kept with lawn enough to hold a test match and plenty of mature trees and shrubs to give privacy.
Away in the corner what looks like another dwelling is in fact what was referred to in the original permit as the “Truck and Store Shed”
Mr Silver ran his business from here. It is approximately 145sqm with heaps of space, 3 phase power and would make a fantastic work from home environment or the best man cave in the country.
