Classically beautiful, absolutely charming and full of character, this is one of those hidden treasures that doesn't come along every day. Tucked back from the road, sitting proudly in an elevated position and surrounded by established greenery, there's something rather special about this home. From its timeless weatherboard exterior to the gorgeous timber floors and leafy garden setting, it has all the charm of a classic home, with modern touches and a few surprises along the way.
A wrap-around deck welcomes you in, offering the perfect introduction, with plenty of space to sit back, soak up the sunshine and take in the leafy outlook. From here, the warmth continues indoors, where natural light, rich timber flooring and timeless details give this home a personality all of its own.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen has been given a modern refresh while still sitting comfortably amongst its more traditional surroundings. Soft neutral cabinetry, ample bench space, stainless steel appliances and a gas cooktop make it a pleasure to cook in. Nearby, the wood burner brings a little old-fashioned comfort to those cooler evenings, while a ducted heat pump provides year-round comfort throughout the home. Solar power adds another practical modern touch, bringing a little extra efficiency to this character-filled beauty.
The living spaces are equally inviting. A cosy lounge offers somewhere to curl up for a movie or enjoy a lazy Sunday afternoon, while the adjoining dining and family area opens out to the covered decking. Large windows frame the gardens beyond, bringing the outdoors in and creating an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining.
The bedrooms carry through the home's welcoming feel, with timber flooring, built-in wardrobes and plenty of daylight. The generously sized master is a retreat of its own, complete with a hidden walk-in wardrobe and sliding doors opening outdoors. The bathroom brings a contemporary touch, featuring a double vanity, spacious tiled shower and stylish finishes.
Beyond the walls of the home, the gardens feel like a little world of their own. Mature trees, tropical palms, flowering plants and winding pathways create a gorgeous setting to explore, while the lawn offers room for children and four-legged family members to play. There's space for a trampoline, backyard games, or simply finding a sunny spot with a good book.
And just when you think you've discovered everything, there's another little surprise waiting amongst the greenery - your very own outdoor sauna. A touch of everyday luxury, whether it's part of your morning routine or somewhere to unwind after a long day.
Completing the picture is a double garage and covered parking, but there's one more surprise waiting downstairs. A versatile space with plenty of possibilities - whether you fancy a workshop, hobby room or somewhere to get creative, this is a little bonus you can make entirely your own.
And the location? Well, that's another reason to fall in love. Positioned in a sought-after pocket of Otumoetai, in zone for Pillans Point School and just a hop, skip and a jump from Otumoetai Golf Course, Woolworths and Kulim Park. Whether it's a morning round of golf, a coffee by the water or a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, there's so much to enjoy right on your doorstep.
