Elevated above the street with views out to the hills, this private and beautifully presented character home immediately impresses. Leadlight windows, wide eaves, a stone-wall frontage, and established roses and mature trees frame the home. Set across two titles totalling 2,435sqm (more or less), this standout property offers exceptional space and is rarely found so close to Taihape township.

Four generous bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms provide excellent family functionality. The main bathroom delivers a moody, boutique feel with its deep inset bath, heated towel rails, and toilet. The second bathroom, located off the back deck, features a polished concrete double wash tub, shower, heated towel rails, and an additional toilet ideal for kids, pets, or coming in straight from the outdoors.

The modernised kitchen absolutely shines with a stainless-steel benchtop, gas cooktop, a subtle acrylic Laminex pink breakfast bar, plenty of inbuilt storage and a nearby wood burner. Sleek wooden cabinetry hides a dish drawer, while expansive windows frame the hillside and fill the space with light. The adjoining dining area features sliding, double-glazed windows and French doors to the garden, perfect for entertaining guests and family.

Head on through to the separate lounge, where retro flooring, panelled detailing, and built-in shelving, with a statement hearth with its inbuilt fireplace, sets the tone for cosy evenings in, while the wide bay window fills the room with natural light. A welcoming space that instantly feels like home.

Heating and cooling are well covered with two fireplaces, and WiFi heat pumps in the two front bedrooms and one in the hallway.

Practicality is met with a compact laundry housed neatly on the back deck, plenty of off-street parking, a single garage and a lockable cool roomy cupboard currently used for freezer and preserving space.

The fully fenced section is a standout, boasting fruiting heritage apple trees, an established rose garden, and the rare advantage of your very own tennis court, exceptional features for families, recreation, or future potential.

Come and view this wonderfully presented home that blends character, comfort, and lifestyle that you won't want to miss out on in one compelling package.
