This remarkable home has been lovingly renovated and meticulously maintained, with an extraordinary level of care and attention given to every detail. The quality of finish is evident throughout, with no expense spared. This isn't a home where you'll need to budget for renovations, upgrades or improvements. You can simply move in, and enjoy it for years to come.
Comfort has been a priority at every stage of the home's modernisation. Fully double glazed throughout – an exceptionally rare and valuable feature in a character home – it also offers two built-in gas fireplaces, two heat pumps and underfloor heating in the lounge extension. These are the kinds of improvements that make a genuine difference to everyday living, while representing a significant investment for any future owner.
The 163sqm (more-or-less) floor plan beautifully blends its early heritage with thoughtfully designed contemporary living. Downstairs, an open-plan kitchen and dining area is complemented by two separate living spaces. The original lounge provides a cosy retreat, while the striking rear extension welcomes an abundance of natural light and creates a lovely connection to the gardens beyond. Together, these spaces offer flexibility for relaxed everyday living or entertaining. A double bedroom, family bathroom and separate laundry complete the ground floor, all finished to an exceptional standard.
Upstairs, the master suite features a walk-in wardrobe, modern ensuite and elevated views across the city. An added advantage of this layout is the option to enjoy comfortable, single-level living, with the upstairs providing a welcoming retreat for guests.
Beyond the home, the 628sqm (more-or-less) section is equally impressive. Designed by renowned landscape designer Mike Mansvelt, the beautifully established, low-maintenance gardens feature charming pathways and tranquil water features. The time, expertise and expense involved in creating a landscape of this calibre should not be underestimated.
An insulated and powered cottage-style outbuilding, currently enjoyed as guest accommodation, offers further versatility as a hobby room, studio or home office. A single garage and garden shed complete the picture.
Positioned in one of New Plymouth's most sought-after city locations, this is a neighbourhood people rarely leave – a testament to how much they love living here. With Pukekura Park, cafes, restaurants and the CBD all within an easy stroll, it's easy to understand why. Admired in magazines, featured on home tours and cherished by the same owners for nearly three decades, this is an opportunity to secure something truly special.
