33 Skerman Street, Marton, Rangitikei, Manawatu / Whanganui

From the moment you arrive, there's an undeniable sense of care and quality here. This thoughtfully modernised family home has been designed for relaxed living and effortless entertaining, blending comfort, craftsmanship, and style in every detail.

At the heart of the home is an expansive open plan living area, anchored by a high-quality country-style kitchen handcrafted by local specialists, AJR. Every feature has been carefully considered - from the boutique cabinetry, engineered quartz benchtop, induction cooking plus self cleaning oven, to the discreet under-bench USB/power points, sensor lighting, and soft mood lighting that transforms the space in the evenings.

Gather around the wood burner in winter, or enjoy the ease of the heat pump for instant comfort. The step-down lounge connects naturally to a sunny conservatory, perfect for quiet mornings or afternoon cuppas, and opens out to an expansive entertaining deck, complete with arch-gola, shade sail and drop-down blinds, offering year round enjoyment.

All three bedrooms are doubles, offering excellent storage and generous natural light. The master bedroom enjoys direct access to the wrap-around deck. The bathroom feels like a private retreat, complete with a corner shower and a beautifully tiled deep bath framed by French windows. A separate laundry and toilet add everyday convenience, ensuring the home works as beautifully in practice as it does in design.

Big-ticket upgrades have recently been completed including the installation of the kitchen, roof, double glazing throughout, expansive decking, new carpet, new curtains and blackout blinds, HRV water filtration system, electric gate, sump-pump, and a caravan switch.

An external room with shower, toilet, and space for a bed or couch provides options for guests, teenagers, or hobbies. There is plenty of off-street parking, a spacious garage with built in storage, and carports for three vehicles.

Outdoors, the property is a haven - raised vegetable gardens, greenhouse, water collection system, and established fruit trees including apple, lemon, lime, nectarine, plum, feijoa, orange and grapefruit. There's even a playhouse for the kids.

Lovingly maintained and modernised, this home perfectly balances comfort, function, and charm. All that's left to do is move in, relax, and make it your own.
