As featured in Haven Magazine, this beautiful 1910 six-bedroom home is full of timeless charm and sits graciously on a picturesque, fully fenced 8504 sq m (more or less) block in coveted Tamahere.
Original features have been lovingly preserved, yet a clever renovation sets it up for modern living. Indoor-outdoor entertaining and relaxation are at its heart with bi-folding kitchen windows opening onto the covered deck.
This elegant home straddles two eras to offer the best of both worlds and is filled with rustic appeal. Original pressed tin ceilings are a standout feature, along with the panelled walls in the entranceway. These original characteristics are complemented by new statement light fittings throughout.
The country-style kitchen dishes up modern appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a reclaimed island workbench. The ground floor includes a guest bedroom, along with the gorgeous master bedroom with ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, and French doors opening onto a sun-drenched deck, while upstairs are four double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a third lounge/hang out zone for the kids. With two ground-floor lounge areas, there is plenty of space for the whole family. The floor plan is rounded off with a home office, separate laundry, a third bathroom, and ample storage.
Throw open the doors and live it up outdoors in a space designed for recreation and entertaining, the covered deck off the kitchen and dining room flows onto a generous paved area looking out to the large flat lawn and easy-care garden. There is space for kids to run with nooks and trees galore for adventures, along with a vege garden and orchard. The change in seasons is a delight with flowering cherry trees and daffodils lining the driveway. The room adjoining the fully carpeted garage is used for a home gym.
The property is close to Tamahere village, in zone for desirable Tamahere Model Country School, within easy reach of St Peter's College, and handy to all arterial networks.
