89 High Street, Waipawa, Central Hawkes Bay, Hawkes Bay Charming character with substance and scope!

Don't be deceived by the quaint street frontage of this gorgeous turn of the century villa - beyond its traditional facade is a family home with substance and scope! Very little in its original outward appearance has changed in its 110-year history, built during a time when homes were crafted with a high level of workmanship with fine locally milled native timbers to give an enduring sense of old-world charm. The magnificent soaring timber ceilings are still present throughout much of the original footprint of the home, as is the wide central hallway, original sash windows and customary three large bedrooms and gracious sitting room. Modern comforts have been added throughout the years including a gutsy free standing Kent wood burner, heat pump, ceiling and underfloor insulation that keeps the whole house snug and warm in winter. An inviting combined kitchen/dining basks in the best of the morning to midday sun before opening out to a very private covered patio area that's nested to the rear of the easy to keep, fully fenced 556m2 section where there's no pesky lawns to mow! The old claw foot bath has been upgraded to a corner spa bath with overhead shower, with the convenience of a separate toilet and separate laundry while a handy office nook neatly houses life's admin. A second street frontage to the back of the property provides off street parking and access to the oversized garage/workshop. Well positioned to enjoy the amenities on offer in the boutique shopping precinct on the northern side of Waipawa township.
