408 French Street, Akina, Hastings, Hawke’s Bay, 4122, New Zealand

Having embarked on an exciting new building project, our owner must now sell this comfortable, convenient and charming dwelling. This is a short Tender campaign (USP).

 

This lovely 1910s villa on French Street has several characteristics of its era, with high stud ceilings, detailed native timbers and sash windows, contributing to a traditional ambience. The home has recently been painted inside out and has also had new carpet installed. The modern bathroom and kitchen give the place a sense of space and light. The kitchen has a gorgeous new granite bench top and is open-plan with the dining and living areas yet retaining the character and charm of yesteryear.

 

Attractively redecorated throughout, all the bedrooms are generous, and the master has an en-suite. The family bathroom is spacious and ideally located next to the laundry, which the current owners appreciate with three young children. The house has been insulated in the ceilings and is heated via a compliant wood burner and heat pump.

 

The bonus is the 30 sq m studio at the rear of the section, offering the option of a games room or an extra space for friends or family staying over, otherwise an ideal spot for the older teenager. The fully fenced section has plenty more potential for entertaining areas and room for a pool. There is ample room for off-street parking, and the single garage offers extra storage.

 

Located in the popular Akina suburb of Hastings and just down the street from Hastings Intermediate and other popular schooling at all levels nearby.
