8 Skerman Street, Marton, Rangitikei, Manawatu / Whanganui

From the moment you arrive at 8 Skerman Street, this home makes a lasting impression. Reimagined with a graceful blend of timeless elegance and modern sophistication, it maintains a calming, grounded presence throughout.

Thoughtful touches elevate everyday living—every corner has personality, with carefully chosen light fittings and fixtures, statement wallpaper that feels like art, classic wainscoting panelling in the hallway and a colour scheme that creates a calming flow from room to room.

At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen—a culinary haven with gleaming stainless-steel benches, a six-burner gas hob, and a generous walk-in pantry, currently filled with homegrown preserves from the flourishing veggie garden and greenhouse. The adjoining dining area includes a built-in buffet with warming plates, ideal for hosting, while both dining and lounge open through French doors to a wide deck. Modern comforts have been seamlessly integrated into the home—fibre internet, infinity gas hot water, gas heating, and two heat pumps to ensure effortless day-to-day living, no matter the season.

The master suite is a peaceful retreat, with soft floor-to-ceiling drapes adding comfort and quiet luxury. The ensuite features a built-in makeup vanity and a gorgeous bath, while the walk-through wardrobe doubles as a spacious dressing room. French doors here, as in the study and living areas, seamlessly connect indoors and out, welcoming light, breeze, and birdsong.

A generous rear deck spans the length of the house, leading to a covered patio with a built-in pizza oven and outdoor fire—perfect for entertaining or relaxed mornings in the sun. The pool adds a resort-like touch, while the separate pool house—with guest room and bathroom—offers extra flexibility for visitors, extended family, or even as a home business.

With undeniable curb appeal, a sweeping driveway leads to a double garage and ample off-street parking. The tree-lined grounds sprawl over 2,774 sqm (more or less) and invite future possibilities, whether it’s creating a business opportunity, exploring subdivision options (thanks to the wide frontage), or simply enjoying the space as it is.

Set in the charming township of Marton, known for its community spirit and relaxed pace, this property offers peaceful living with convenient access to daily essentials.
