This elegant, character home originally built in the 1950's sits comfortably in its role as a modern family home. Impeccably maintained by the current owners, with several careful renovations to ensure the character and charm, this home has been futureproofed for years to come. With four bedrooms, two living areas, two bathrooms plus an extra shower and WC off the laundry, this home will take on the busiest family with room for everyone. An additional very large studio/sleepout adjacent to the home offers promise as a guest overflow space, work from home office or even a home gym. Central to family life on the 789sqm (approx.) site is the inground pool and outdoor living. Facing west, this is the place you want to be on a summer's afternoon; your guests may never leave! As you contemplate a cool drink poolside, you'll also imagine ease of living in this highly desirable Otumoetai neighbourhood; Pillans Point and Otumoetai Primary schools are both within an easy walk or bike ride, access to the Daisy Hardwick Walkway is at the bottom of the hill and you can see the inner city across the harbour from the upper floor. Plenty of offstreet parking and an old fashioned back garden complete the picture of this wonderful home. Make it yours in time for summer.
