Secluded up a long driveway this classic 1942 bungalow complete with leadlights and ornate plaster ceilings both surprises and delights. The elevated north facing site makes the most of all day sun, views to Napier and enjoys exceptional privacy while only a short walk to the village. The large informal family room with matai floors opens through French doors to a paved patio and is complemented by a beautifully proportioned drawing room with open fire - also opening to a sun trap patio. Two very generous double bedrooms with excellent storage are serviced by a family bathroom with shower, bath and WC. A small sun room could be considered a single bedroom while the office/computer room leads through to the recently added master bedroom with walk=through wardrobe and ensuite. All additions and alterations over the years have been done sympathetically and in keeping with the original style of the house which now offers spacious living with modern indoor/outdoor flow. The kitchen with large pantry and "wine cellar" safe has recently had most appliances renewed and bi-fold windows open to delightful rear BBQ area. A separate laundry leads to a third "gardeners" WC and across a morning sun patio to the double garage. Various rustic outbuildings provide ample storage for wood, garden tools and even a potential toy house with a little bit of a tidy up. The extensively planted and landscaped garden is a delight to behold and enhances the total impression of a private haven away from the madding crowd. Viewing of this quality property is by appointment only.
