Step back in time as the entrance hallway of this circa 1890’s home greets you with the wow factor. 12 foot stud ceilings are softened by subtle arches to create a romance of history and style synonymous with the Victorian era. You’ll immediately feel the warm embrace of a house with heart, charm, and soul.
From the living room there are green, serene rural views and access to the wrap around verandah which is north facing and drenched in sun. A wood burner with a wetback along with the modern reassurances of full re-wiring, a heat pump and underfloor and ceiling insulation ensure you will be comfortable year round.
The dining room (adjoining the country-style kitchen) opens out to the front deck, a great spot to have breakfast in the morning sun. With verandahs and decking on three sides, there is always somewhere sunny and sheltered to sit.
There’s a magnificently proportioned main bathroom (adjoining the master with its bay window) complete with a clawfoot bath, and a second bathroom/laundry. All the bedrooms are doubles, providing plenty of space and storage for the whole family.
The land being a 4065m2 site, it is not too much to take care of, for someone wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and live the country dream. There is a large shed for storage, a pond for the resident Muscovy ducks, and many beautiful mature trees, including fruit trees. Enjoy your own feijoas, apples, lemons and plums… and there’s plenty of room to plant more.
It’s ideally located, a short drive to Kaiwaka, or Maungaturoto, and about 25 minutes to your choice of beaches: Mangawhai, Langs Beach or Whakapirau. Pick your swim spot depending on the tide!
You don’t need to compromise on character when choosing lifestyle, and with the next stage of the northern motorway being fast-tracked, this part of Northland is going to be easily accessed so you can have the work-life balance you’ve been wishing for, without the Auckland pricetag.
