Step inside and you'll discover a surprisingly spacious 145m2 (more or less) floor plan offering three bedrooms, generous living spaces and a layout that simply works.

A covered front porch, sunny rear deck and a fully fenced backyard provide a safe, secure haven for children and pets to enjoy, while the powered single garage completes the package. Families will love the location, being a short stroll to Central Normal School, in-zone for PNINS, and Palmerston North Boys' High School, with the city centre also just an easy walk away, this home offers exceptional convenience for every stage of family life. Whether you're searching for your first home, a family home with room to grow, or simply love the timeless appeal of character homes, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
