Autumn Bargain Falling into Your Lap

Grab a quick settlement and cosy into this character home with the feel of a country property but in fact tucked away on a leafy westside street.

The owners have said SELL their Californian bungalow, being 240m2 (more or less) with 4+ bedrooms and two living rooms, flowing over a single storey. Bedrooms sit on three corners of the footprint, catering to the privacy needs of a growing family, or the flexibility to create sunrooms, offices or studios.

Two log burners for a cosy autumn, one with heat transfer to bedrooms. A large master bedroom with ensuite has a sunny and private corner of the house to itself. The family bathroom features a clawfoot bath and separate shower room. Packed with traditional features, the interior is fresh and bright, with timber joinery, high studs and leadlight windows complementing modern lighting. Storage is impressive, with built-in wardrobes, linen cupboard, roomy coat closet in the entrance hall and separate laundry with twin tubs.

Outside is a single garage, wood and tool sheds and a standalone storage shed for bikes and sports gear. The easy-care garden with Portuguese laurels, standard roses and citrus fruit leads to the inground pool with freestanding pergola.

One of the most-used zones in the house is the deep, covered back deck, a social oasis all year round. Leafy Essex St is situated between Wairarapa College and St Matthew's Collegiate, enabling a short walk, rain or shine. Owners say the privacy, space and pool made it feel like a country club, but they must reluctantly move away for work. Don't delay, call Prue Hamill to view.
