52 Young Street, Whanganui East, Whanganui, Manawatu / Whanganui

This charming Californian bungalow has oodles of appeal for lovers of character and vintage homes. The classic style of the pillared front porch is especially deep, wrapping around two sides and offering a haven from the elements. Imagine lazy Sunday afternoons here with a mint julep or homemade lemonade in hand.

Inside, you have three bedrooms, two spacious doubles with wardrobes and a smaller single bedroom or home office. The living room has a feature fireplace with inset wood burner and a ceiling that immediately draws the eye and evokes the elegance and style of this era. A heat pump offers additional heating or cooling depending on the season and gorgeous leadlight windows lend their own special charm to the ambience.

The kitchen has an open plan aspect into the dining room plus a small breakfast bar and French doors opening onto the private rear garden. If you’re looking to flex your renovation muscle and create a fabulous new kitchen with indoor outdoor flow onto the deck of your dreams, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. The family bathroom has a shower over bath plus there’s a separate laundry and separate toilet, and HRV.

Outside awaits a green-fingered magician to bring this garden to life and create an abundant oasis with indoor/outdoor living. There’s an array of fruit trees already here along with a single garage and wood storage and additional off-street parking. Close to local schools, Kowhai Park, and the river for your daily constitutional. If you love DIY and renovation, or you’re looking for a project to be your forever home, roll up your sleeves and transform this character gem.
