9 Truscott Grove, Palmerston North, Manawatū-Whanganui A home for your heart

This is it. This is the perfect home to show your friends and family you have finally got it together!

So many features, where do I start?

How about with that huge master suite - it’s easily big enough to avoid any unwanted guests by hiding out in there. Ensuite and walk in wardrobe included of course.

But in the event that you do feel like socialising, stroll on down to the entertainers kitchen and family room, complete with walk-in pantry perfect for storing your avocados and gluten-free bisque. Yes that is a feature splashback - it’s actually a one-of-a-kind photo of the snow capped Manawatu Hills, taken by the current owner. It’s been beautifully printed and installed above a Belling free standing stove with induction cooktop which will almost certainly make Mum nod in approval. You’re welcome Mum.

Some houses are just 4 walls and a roof but not this one ... 9 Truscott oozes character. Who doesn’t love a home built around a stunning internal fern garden with gorgeous cathedral ceilings. Yes it’s architecturally designed in the 70s but the dark wood, patterned wallpaper and the swingers parties are a distant memory, replaced with white paint and light accents and a beautiful new family bathroom big enough for at least three teenage daughters (if you do have three teenage daughters I am so sorry, I promise life will get better in a few years).

There is a separate (f**n huge!) lounge for more help avoiding those visitors, and a large loft above the double garage for extra living, storage or maybe a teenage gaming space. You’d easily forget about a kid playing fortnite up there, provide some snacks and you probably won’t even see them for about a fortnight! Could also be a private space for bringing back those swingers parties but you didn’t hear that from us.

Indoor/outfloor flow is sorted, and a giant deck in the fully fenced backyard means you’ll get to make the most of the long summer days in Palmy.

We’ve even got location locked down - a few minutes walk from Ahimate Reserve, great river walks and a dog park so throw on your lulelemon, grab a matcha collagen smoothie and work it baby. Or increase the smugness in your soul by cycling - it’s faster by bike than by car to Massey on the nearby cycle path and over He Ara Kotahi bridge, and it’s a quick easy ride to town. My carbon footprint? Lighter than my wallet after buying overpriced organic granola.

If kids are in your family you’re in luck as getting them to school in a timely fashion just got infinitely easier with Riverdale Primary and Awatupu College both easy walking distance. You can literally toss your kids out the front door when you’re running behind. Disclaimer: please don’t toss your kids.

Two heat pumps and a gas fire keeps the home cosy in the winter and the sun-filled living areas … well they just make you feel safe and loved even if the world is going to hell in a hand basket.

Truthfully, its an epic home. Our family have loved it since 2009. But we've relocated and we can’t take it with us (oh we so would if we could!). Selling privately as we’re too old for sales agents bullshit, and we want to offer you a better deal and save you the commission.
