Crafted personally by Mr. Mansel, this iconic bungalow in Hillcrest offers timeless appeal with a touch of contemporary luxury. A welcoming kitchen leads to an open plan living and dining area, perfect for both creating new traditions and enjoying cozy gatherings by the fire. Meanwhile, the high ceilings with beautiful rimu beams echo skilled craftsmanship. Complete with a heat transfer system and full insulation, this home stays cozy year-round. The master bedroom seamlessly extends into an extra sunroom, ideal for an inspiring office space, a nurturing nursery, or simply soaking up the sun. Bedrooms two and three each boast double wardrobes and distinct architectural touches, adding to the home's unique character. An additional room, which opens out onto a tranquil deck, converts perfectly into an additional bedroom, an extra family room, a sunny office, or a tranquil sunroom designed for unwinding and relaxing. Embrace the stylish bathroom, complete with a claw-foot bath, sleek vanity unit, and a light/extractor fan. The north-facing aspect on an elevated section invites sweeping views of Te Aroha, and the home is set against the backdrop of a highly-regarded academic circle and top school zone.
