A rare opportunity awaits - this original homestead is on the market for the first time in 50 years. Beautifully renovated, it is completely move-in ready while retaining all the charm of its 1920’s architecture, thoughtfully blended with the comforts of modern living.

Two entrances welcome you to the front of the home, where sweeping lawns and mature trees create an inviting setting for entertaining. Native birds frequent the property - kereru, tui, piwakawaka and ruru are regular visitors that add to the sense of peace. The large, partly covered veranda is the perfect spot to savour your morning coffee or unwind in the evening with a drink, surrounded by tranquillity.

French doors open into the casual dining, kitchen and family room, kept warm and cosy by a wood burner. Adjacent is a separate, more formal dining room, which in turn leads to the expansive wood-panelled living room that is an ideal space to gather with friends and family.

All four bedrooms are generous in size, with the primary bedroom featuring a stunning ensuite. The family bathroom includes both a walk-in shower and a bath. In the large laundry, you’ll find an additional toilet, shower, and handbasin, which is a practical option for cleaning up after time in the garden or a refreshing swim. The wide hallway adds to the home’s spacious feel and includes a second wood burner with a handy wetback, efficiently warming this central area.

Set on 1ha (more or less), the grounds are thoughtfully arranged into lawns and gardens, a swimming pool area, and three paddocks. Excellent outbuildings include a double garage, a woodshed and a working wool shed. A dedicated chicken run provides the opportunity for fresh eggs daily, and numerous fruit trees complete this idyllic lifestyle package.

Every element of this home has been carefully considered to provide comfort and ease for its new owners, right in the heart of the friendly Brunswick community. The local school is just down the road, with a school bus available for students heading into the city.

Cherished by one family for many decades - host to weddings, celebrations and countless milestones - this exceptional property now offers you the chance to create your own memories. With standout features and a serene countryside setting, it presents a lifestyle opportunity not to be missed.
