1 Gumtree Rise, Otamatea, Whanganui, Manawatu / Whanganui

A distinctive architectural silhouette, this beautiful home isn't just a house, its a sanctuary. A place where kids can ride bikes safely on quiet roads, where weekends are filled with family walks by the lake, and where evenings are spent in peace. Boasts two reserves, one right next door and one across the road, perfect seclusion.

Set across two levels, this 174m² home balances generous living with sublime retreats. The ground floor unfolds in a sequence of warm, welcoming spaces: a formal living room anchored by a cozy wood-burner, ideal indoor/outdoor leads into the sunny conservatory space. The recently modernized kitchen has been designed for entertaining in mind, is both functional and practical with a double oven and top of the range appliances -wrapping around a breakfast bar for convenience.

Upstairs, the home’s luxurious feel continues with three generous serene bedrooms positioned around a wide landing. The master feels particularly considered, with its lofty ceiling height, quiet green outlooks, softened natural light and heat-pump for year round comfort. The new, extra-large bathroom is a standout: designed for comfort, has everything you could wish for! A second WC downstairs adds practicality.

Storage throughout this quality home with no expense spared is superb, includes an internal access garage, enough room for hobbies, projects and toys with excellent off-street parking under the archgola. No to-do's here as everything has been done, even a new roof, with excellent insulation, heating options, a home built to last - and built to free up your time.

Outdoors, the 491m² section is low-maintenance with lovely established garden borders, immaculately presented, with secure fencing. Let's not forget location. On the cusp of Saint Johns Hill and Otamatea, you're close enough to motorways, schools, shops and amenities to make daily life easy - yet far enough with all the surrounding greenbelts to feel like you've escaped.
