THIS gorgeous 1920s bungalow will immediately capture the hearts of character home lovers.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Hawera Street has all the usual charm and heritage features of this era, including native timber floors, high ceilings, stained glass and timber joinery.

It has been lovingly maintained – and improved – over the years and possesses a “wow” factor that strikes as soon as you open the bright red front door.

The entry opens onto a spacious, open-plan living area in which the old brick fireplace has been retained as a feature. Moving through, the kitchen, dining and TV nook all open onto private, north-facing decking.

In fact, the northern side of this property is devoted to relaxation and outdoor
entertaining with decks, cobbles, a spa pool and attractive border plantings. Back inside, a brick wall providing a stunning feature in the kitchen/dining area, doubling as the backdrop for a freestanding wood burner.

However, the primary heating for this home is a fully ducted heat pump system that provides for comfortable year-round living.

There are three good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom that is a mix of character (clawfoot bath) and modern, and a separate laundry.

The master bedroom is a large sunny room with a dressing room, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom.

At 150 square metres, this is a great size family home on a full, 822sqm section. It has masses of off-street parking, a double garage at the rear and a carport. Two extra rooms provide plenty of space for guests and family.
