Inner City Sanctuary - Character With Class
Inner City Sanctuary - Character With Class
Class, quality and an ambience seldom found - this central city character home may just bring your searching to an end. With an enviable outlook across the Hatea River to the bush of Parihaka you can be forgiven for forgetting this is inner city living. Built around 1900 with the great Victorian features of the day savour a blend of rich warm kauri floors, panelled ceilings and detailed architraves. Add the function and flair of modern heating, up to date kitchen and bathrooms, and an effortless flow through French doors to expansive decking outdoors. The kitchen area offers stainless steel bench tops, stainless appliances - gas hob, electric oven and dish drawers - and has windows which open out to the barbeque area and sun-bathed decks. Modern design ensures the cook is never left out of the party with open access to the dining area and the family room. Four double bedrooms and two bathrooms (including a claw foot bath) on two levels, two separate lounge areas, an open plan dining/family room area and an office give generous living space for families from all walks of life. A large modern two car garage at the front of the property not only reflects the style of the house but offers privacy, plenty of storage and a loft. The 1000m² section is privately fenced with landscaped grounds. Present owners feel the wrench of parting with this much loved home but offer it to the market knowing new custodians will add to and share in the memories past, present and future that this home offers.
