Combining beautiful craftsmanship, spacious gardens, and modern functionality, this property is the ideal choice for families and visitors, individuals seeking a peaceful retreat, or buyers with an eye for sub-division or business homes. A home full of character and light, the house features warm and beautifully maintained native wood. The interior retains much of its original character, including intricate coloured glass windows. Sunlight filtering through, these windows bring a vibrant glow to the living spaces - making the house come alive whenever the sun is out.

The garden includes 14 established fruit trees - apples, pears, oranges, grapefruit, figs, walnuts, papaya, and loquat - offering fresh produce throughout the seasons. A dedicated veggie garden further enhances the homes self-sustaining appeal with no limitations to additional sustainable growing. The outdoor living consists of two well-positioned decks extend the homes living spaces outdoors: a large deck facing the backyard catches the morning sun, making it an ideal spot for breakfast or a peaceful coffee in the morning sun. A private north-facing deck gives privacy in the afternoon and access to a sheltered spa pool and outdoor solar shower. Practicality and potential await! The large off-street parking area can accommodate up to seven vehicles, while the covered carport provides sheltered storage for one car, a gym or other equipment.

Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare in central Palmerston North, where larger sections have largely been subdivided. The properties location is within short walking distance of central local cafes, shops, and supermarkets, nearby schools and childcare centres, parks and recreational spaces are close by, and public transport hubs offer easy connections.
