Description
Capturing the essence of solidity, permanence and reassuring quality of the 1950's era.
Positioned in a wide tree lined street amongst other well-preserved homes of similar vintage, the road's name reflects the beauty of the neighbouring gardens surrounding the property.
With flat drive on access to the wide 400 sq m sunny northwest facing site, an extra-large garage and double off-street car pad, allows parking requirements to be well accommodated.
A sweeping path directs visitors to the front entrance and terrace. The period glazed front door heralds the entrance, welcoming visitors into the convivial hallway.
The formal living space, with feature french doors open out onto the terrace, offering hill views and plenty of sun. A natural flow through to the dining and kitchen space provides an easy lifestyle with a heat pump keeping the spaces cosy. Polished native wooden floors in the living rooms compliment the character and modernisation that the home has undergone.
The generous kitchen features abundant storage space, plentiful bench space and a breakfast bar for convenience, the dining table taking centre stage with views out to the courtyard.
Three double bedrooms and a separate study are located away from the living spaces offering peace and independence from family living. Closely located is the fully renovated bathroom.
A soft colour palette throughout, plus newly installed carpet in the hallway and bedrooms elevates the home, offering a tranquil retreat to those that inhabit ...
Sensitive planting and a concrete pad in the courtyard allows for BBQ's, entertaining and general lounging around.
Close proximity to the Hutt's shopping facilities, local cafes, Hutt Hospital, easy access to SH2 and walking distance to Avalon Park, provides plenty of flexibility.
Built with heart and soul ... and honest simplicity ... this home's provenance is a precious and iconic reminder of its era, which has adapted and evolved to meet the lifestyle requirements of today.
