23 Argyle Avenue, Takaro, Palmerston North, Manawatu / Whanganui

The RV has recently been reassessed to reflect the extensive improvements made to the property, now sitting at $800,000. Beautifully blending the charm of the 1920’s with the ease of modern-day living, this gorgeous bungalow has been extensively modernised without losing the character that makes homes of this era so special. From the striking street appeal and high-stud ceilings to the fresh contemporary finish throughout, this is a home that feels every bit as good as it looks.

At the heart of the 161m2 (more or less) floorplan is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, creating a relaxed and inviting hub for everyday life. The kitchen makes a statement with its waterfall benchtop, tiled splashback, excellent storage and plenty of workspace, while effortless flow onto the rear deck extends your living outdoors. Beyond, there's a great-sized backyard with room for the kids, pets and gardens to happily coexist.

Four bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility for families of all shapes and stages, complemented by an additional separate living space that could just as easily become a fifth bedroom or generous primary suite. The master is complete with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while the remaining bedrooms are well serviced by a beautifully finished family bathroom.

Adding even more versatility is a separate utility room positioned off the rear of the garage - an ideal space for hobbies, a home office, teenage retreat or simply somewhere to spread out as the family grows.

Comfort will be assured year round with two heat pump units, paired with ceiling and underfloor insulation.

Positioned in a convenient pocket of the city with access to quality school zones, this is character living without the usual list of jobs attached. The hard work has been done, the modern comforts are in place and all that's left to do is move in and make it yours.

You must view it in the flesh to truly appreciate the works that have been carried out here.
