Welcome to a hidden treasure and a rare opportunity to buy a slice of Kiwi history. The old Opapa railway station is one of the last 40 wooden railway stations left in NZ, and this beautifully and extensively remodelled Station Masters house is now a gorgeous 3 bedroom home. Tucked away off the road amongst gardens that provide absolute privacy, plus the orchard bursting with fruit and the chook run, you'll enjoy expansive views across the farmlands with the cute little station to admire nearby.
The large sleek kitchen is the focal point of the home, with 2 full size granite benches, each with their own sink, the double pantry, extra double pantry, gas hobs, appliance centre, breakfast bar, and open plan with the glam dining area, which offers you direct access through the French doors out to the covered and enclosed deck for all weather entertaining in all day sun. When it's too hot, sit in the cool shade of the original front verandah to enjoy the rural views, and the master bedroom also has French doors to fling open and enjoy!
The separate lounge is a snug private haven to curl up on the couch, and has a cosy log burner when you need it, and the house has the bonus of solar panels on the roof.
You won't believe the size of the full size bathroom with separate bath and shower, and the separate toilet room, also with full vanity.
The cute original outbuildings are all a still there, forming an attractive enclosed courtyard space for more outdoor living, all gated off so the kids are safe, and the sheds include a 2nd toilet, store room, garden shed, plus a large woodshed by the modern double garage.
The adorable park like area that overlooks the station has an abundance of free fruit for you including, thornless blackberries, figs, peaches, apples, pears , citrus, grapes, feijoas and nectarine.
Completely private from the road, the Station Masters house offers you a private and charming sanctuary and is only 20 minutes commute to Hastings.
