Lovers of weatherboard homes will not want to miss this very special offering. At first glance, a typical 1960's brick and weatherboard bungalow, but first glances can be deceiving. Careful improvements have been made by the owners of 18 years to accommodate their growing family. It now offers both extra living space (three big bedrooms and a second living area) and a completely modernised interior. The large family room and master bedroom open to decks and a sunny backyard that's perfectly set up for entertaining. Relaxing under the pohutukawa, out of sight of neighbours, you'll feel you are in your own private sanctuary.
This is a home that rewards a careful inspection, and astute buyers will realise just how much has been done. Among other improvements, the original joinery has been sympathetically upgraded and double-glazed. Combined with recently added insulation, and a north-facing aspect, this will be a warm and comfortable home with minimal heating costs. What an opportunity to take advantage of someone else's hard work!
The popular location on the Glenfield/Hillcrest border offers easy access to almost everything. Local schools for all ages are within walking distance, the local bus service is good and the motorway is close at hand. A solid and spacious home, on a good section in a great location - what are you waiting for?
