Character without compromise

For sale by Auction 2pm, Thu 1 May 2025 (unless sold prior)

Love the charm of a character home but not the upkeep? This is the best of both worlds. Relocated and completely transformed in 2023, this stunning character home now stands as a testament to craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Set on 9,213sqm (more or less) in a coveted lifestyle location between Palmerston North and Feilding, it offers a seamless blend of heritage charm and contemporary convenience.

The home's classic gabled architecture and expansive front veranda create a striking first impression - inside, restored Rimu joinery and lead light windows honour its 100 year old past, while high-end finishes elevate every space. Four generous bedrooms include a master suite with a beautifully appointed ensuite, complemented by an elegant family bathroom.

At the heart of the home, the Hampton-inspired kitchen is impressive. Stone benchtops, premium appliances, and a well-designed scullery create a space that is as functional as it is striking. The modern open-plan living area flows effortlessly through large bi-fold doors onto the covered veranda, designed for year-round enjoyment—capturing the warmth of the winter sun while providing cooling shade in summer.

Comfort is paramount, with ducted heat pump/air conditioning and under tile heating ensuring a welcoming environment in every season. Unlike many character homes, the extensive renovations mean no compromise—offering classic appeal without the maintenance demands.

Beyond the home, the landscaped grounds are maturing beautifully. Mature trees at the entrance reflect the home's heritage, while newly planted gardens will continue to flourish, enhancing the property's grandeur over time. A covered carport, fully insulated garage, and a new two-bay pole shed provides ample storage and versatility for cars, boats or a caravans.

There is a decommissioned dwelling on the property currently used for storage.

A home where heritage charm and modern refinement come together effortlessly - an opportunity not to be missed.
