Overview

Private, spacious and packed with practicality

Copy and paste this link for the property files: https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/5529992 Tucked away at the end of a private driveway in a well-established and convenient part of town, 8 Russell Street, presents an outstanding opportunity for families, first-home buyers, and investors seeking space, comfort, and privacy. The home is thoughtfully configured with three generous double bedrooms, including a spacious master complete with ensuite, while a family bathroom and separate toilet with handbasin provide everyday convenience for busy households. At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area creates an inviting space for daily life and entertaining. The kitchen is well-appointed with quality appliances, a generous island bench, and the added luxury of a filtered hot water tap, meaning the jug can stay tucked away. Flowing from the living area is a light-filled sunroom with skylights, complete with polished concrete flooring and a large mat for comfort, offering the perfect spot to unwind while enjoying peaceful views of the garden. A study nook and separate media room add flexibility for working from home and another living space. Year-round comfort is well catered for with a log burner, heat pump, heat transfer system, and a whole-house water filter system, helping ensure a comfortable and healthy living environment. A security alarm system is installed but currently disconnected and will be sold on an "as is, where is" basis, allowing the new owner the option to reconnect if desired. Practicality continues with an oversized double internal access garage incorporating the laundry, along with excellent off-street parking for additional vehicles, trailers, or guests. Set on a fully fenced 798sqm (more or less) section, the grounds are sheltered, established, and designed for easy enjoyment. Outdoors you'll find a sunny patio, mature landscaping, a vegetable garden, handy garden sheds, generous wood storage sheds, plus the added convenience of an outdoor caravan plug and generator plug. Combined with its handy location close to Darfield's amenities, this well-rounded property offers lifestyle, comfort and long-term appeal. Vacant and ready for you to move in now.
