Displaying many of the captivating elements of its original character, this super-sunny freestanding weatherboard cottage offers timeless appeal and an inviting sense of warmth throughout. Positioned on a avenue close to Tamaki Estuary reserves and walkways, as well as excellent local amenities, the property will appeal equally to first-home buyers, growing families and downsizers seeking an easy-care lifestyle.
Currently configured over a single level, a set of stairs leads to a substantial attic space, inviting investigation into its potential for more than simply overhead storage. A separate north-facing living room pays homage to the home’s Arts and Crafts heritage, with exposed native timber beams and panelled ceilings, while a wall-mounted heat pump provides year-round comfort. The generously proportioned dining room basks in natural light through French windows, reflecting the character joinery found throughout the home.
Open plan and full of character, the kitchen features an island bench, farmhouse-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and benchtops, along with a breakfast bar and ample room for an additional casual dining table. Three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes are served by a family bathroom with shower over bath, vanity and toilet. The laundry is accessed from a small rear porch connecting the back door with the clothesline and utility
area.
Outside, the flat freehold 432m² (approx.) section provides enough lawn for children and pets, while the generous forecourt can comfortably accommodate up to four vehicles. Mature trees and established gardens provide shelter and privacy from the street.
Glen Innes shops and train station are just minutes away by car, with city-bound bus routes also nearby, completing an appealing character home in a convenient and well-connected location.
