No surprises if this character captures your attention! Homes like this tend to steal your heart and draw a crowd with the traditional facade a testament to the era where high studs, beautiful timber details and quality construction were the standard. In our opinion the merging of character charm and modern style are where the magic really happens! Step inside that fabulous red front door and you can see this is a home with beautiful proportions, and the colour swatches on the wall can inspire the vision for what is already a warm and welcoming home. The wide central hallway draws you in, leading you to two double bedrooms and a generous master bedroom with fantastic wardrobes. The living, dining and kitchen create a central family zone which is cosy yet spacious and well set out. Warm in winter and cool in Summer, there is a woodburner for heating, good insulation, gas hot water and cooking and an HRV. The modernised bathroom, separate toilet and separate laundry tick the box for functionality. It does not end there though - the covered back door is a perfect spot for boots and coats, this leads to the double sized garage where a space has been converted to an office or additional living. The section is very family friendly, fully fenced and secure for pets and children, and planted with a collection of fruit trees and great off street parking. An easy commute north or south, and you can enjoy the bakery, dairy, Primary School and park all just a short stroll away. There is a reason Otane is so popular.
