A home that comes with a consented studio that was lovingly built in 2000 by the vendor using native NZ timbers, California cedar and Oregon timbers. This studio is a mountain hut in the city and offers a versatile layout with a sleeping loft, lounge area, sink, side room, rustic bathroom and a large hot water cylinder (275L). The wide veranda wraps around three sides, making this a fantastic income opportunity to offset your mortgage.

The main house, cherished by the vendor's family for over 32 years, features two bedrooms and lovely sunny living areas. Insulation in the ceiling and underfloor, a large Mitsubishi heat pump and log burner valid until 2037, ensure your year-round comfort. Enjoy a cosy atmosphere with native red beech timber flooring and wool carpet. The current sunny dining room can also serve as a multipurpose space, perfect as an office, bedroom or sunroom, capable of being shut off for privacy and cosiness.

Outside, explore a gardener's paradise with an uncertified organic garden maintained for 35 years. Delight in apple and pear trees, a grapevine, spring bulbs, daphne, calendula and huge vegetable plots. The expansive 807sqm section is a children's playground, ideal for family gatherings and outdoor enjoyment.

This home is perfectly positioned near Merivale Mall, Northlands, The Palms, and the City, with friendly neighbours who have been part of the community for over four decades. Enjoy easy access to bike routes, the Northern Motorway, and bus routes. A single garage and additional driveway parking add convenience, with a new driveway and drains replaced in 2019.
