71 Jickell Street, Hokowhitu, Palmerston North, Manawatu

71 Jickell Street is a well-maintained character home, originally designed and built by Mastercraft builders in the 1940's using the best of native timbers, with major additions and renovations completed in 2003 and interior upgrading including re-carpeting in 2021. The elegant features include four bedrooms, a study-come-fifth bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe off the master bedroom, two bathrooms, a formal lounge and dining area, an open plan kitchen and informal dining space designed optimally for privacy for a larger family. The golden Rimu doors and windows add a touch of traditional charm to the interior of the house. The 2003 additions included a tiled conservatory, three outer rooms connected to the main building by a beautifully tiled terrace and spacious and elegant entertainment space. The three outer rooms include an office/studio, a climate-controlled wine cellar and a tool/workroom. A double garage and single carport provide off-street parking for three vehicles. The house is set in a private park-like and secure 804m2 section (more or less), with shrubs, bulbs, rose varieties, and well-established native and flowering trees which attracts various songbirds. It is located within easy walking distance from Palmerston North's pristine gardens and walkways, including the beautiful Hokowhitu Lagoon, Manawatu rivers walkways, Victoria Esplanade, the golf course, tennis courts, playgrounds, and P.N. Girls High School. It is a 5-minute drive to Massey University and the Science Centres and to the City Centre in the opposite direction.
