IN A NUTSHELL 

This is your chance to secure a much-loved, character home which has been highly treasured as this is the first time it is for sale in 26 years!

This beautifully fully renovated 1920’s bungalow basks in all-day sun. It resides privately with an understated roadside presence, overlooking the reserve to the west.

The extra high 3m ceilings complement the open plan living area which is surrounded by custom shelving, a “Firenzo” wood burner and a feature rimu mantlepiece. 

Character features: French doors, matai and orange oak floor boards, wide weatherboards, and fret work; all combined with modern lighting.
