This is a home that makes you welcome and encourages you to stay.

The current owner has enjoyed almost 10 years here, relishing its stunning character features, all-weather outdoor entertaining areas, easy-care grounds and expansive outlook.

The 1930s bungalow sits proudly on Hukutaia Hill,  having been moved to the site over 30 years ago. It has been well kept over the years and provides just the right mix of old-world charm and contemporary living.

You will find all the characteristics you expect in a classic bungalow, including beautifully polished floors, timber panelling, high coffered ceilings, and native timber doors.

The country-style kitchen offers cooks plenty of bench and cupboard space and flows through to a sunny dining room. There’s a separate lounge with a woodfire, and three bedrooms, all with heatpumps. The master is a large room with stunning timber features, a window seat and French doors opening to the covered deck. This private, fully enclosed area is ideal for entertaining.

The 758-square-metre section has been well-developed with established trees, attractive tiered planting and a good size lawn. It has a cottagey feel that goes well with such a heritage home.

There’s a single garage with covered carport out front, along with plenty of off-street parking for vehicles. More parking is available on the top lawn.

The vendor is realistic and keen to sell, so has priced the property accordingly. Attend this weekend’s open home or contact Wendy for a private viewing.
