11 Maria Place, City Centre, Whanganui, Manawatu / Whanganui

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history with this 1919 inner-city gem, a residence that seamlessly marries timeless elegance with modern comfort. The private entrance off the footpath beckons you into a world of vintage allure, where high stud concrete ceilings and original strong room doors tell tales of a bygone era. This second-storey apartment offers a unique blend of yesteryear charm, featuring an industrial-chic kitchen and dining area, complete with solid timber furnishings and remnants of the building's storied past transformed into a grand pantry, utility cupboard, and tool shed. Step into three generously sized bedrooms, with the master boasting a walk-in robe, alongside a small office/study and a cosy reading room. The light-filled sitting room, overlooking Majestic Square, provides a picturesque view of the city below, and a second smaller sitting room area for quiet reading and meditation. Modern amenities meet historic ambiance in the high-standard bathroom, equipped with a freestanding bath, bidet, and laundry, complemented by a water softener for added luxury. Uncover additional storage space and a touch of nostalgia with old-school ladies' loos across from the second landing, making this one-of-a-kind inner-city sanctuary a living testament to the enduring charm of the past. A new roof and near completed veranda repairs, in collaboration with the other two friendly body corporate owners, make this unique apartment a rare find in the heart of the city.
