If you've been apartment hunting but would really prefer your own front door, your own outdoor space and a freehold title, 2 Ascot Street could be just the ticket.
Tucked away in one of Thorndon's quietest and most historical streets, this gorgeous double-gable cottage packs a lot into its compact 103m² footprint. It has all the character you'd hope for, with a stylish renovation making the spaces feel fresh, welcoming and easy to live in.
There are three bedrooms - one double and two singles upstairs, giving you plenty of flexibility for guests, working from home or simply having a little extra space.
The living is easy too, with the kitchen flowing into either the courtyard or the dining / living area and a separate sunny lounge also flowing straight out to the courtyard - sheltered, peaceful and just the spot for a morning coffee, glass of wine or long summer lunch.
The main bedroom includes a generous dressing area and semi-ensuite, while the rest of the home balances period charm with contemporary comfort.
And then there's the location.
Step out the door and you're moments from Tinakori Village, cafés, restaurants and shopping. Parliament, The Terrace and the CBD are all within easy walking distance, while the Botanic Garden provides one of the nicest shortcuts in town to Victoria University.
Our vendor has placed an offer across town, creating a genuine opportunity for someone new to make this special little corner of Thorndon their own.
Pretty, practical and wonderfully positioned - 2 Ascot Street is compact city living with a whole lot of charm. Come and see it. I think you'll love it.
