6 Ridge Lane, City Centre, New Plymouth, Taranaki

Steeped in timeless 1930s character yet beautifully brought into the modern day, "Storemont" is a grand old lady who wears her history with pride while embracing contemporary family living. Throughout, exquisite period features remain beautifully intact - ornate ceiling roses, stained-glass windows, native timber detailing and textured plasterwork all speak to the home’s 1930s pedigree, while thoughtful upgrades elevate it for modern living.

From the moment you arrive, the home’s presence is undeniable. A covered portico with stained-glass detailing allows guests to arrive in comfort, rain or shine, before stepping into a truly welcoming entrance hall. Here, rich native timber panelling and a sweeping wooden staircase set the tone for the craftsmanship and charm that unfolds throughout.

The kitchen has been tastefully modernised with crisp white cabinetry, black appliances and contemporary tapware, striking a perfect balance between style and functionality without detracting from the home’s heritage feel. Living spaces are generous and versatile, with the central dining room connecting seamlessly to both the lounge and kitchen. Close the doors for intimate gatherings or open them wide to create effortless family connection. The lounge is warmed by a character fireplace flanked by built-in seating, while a second living room - currently enjoyed as a billiards room - offers a relaxed retreat complete with a window seat and fireplace, perfect for evenings in.

Accommodation is equally impressive, with three genuinely spacious bedrooms, including a master with walk-in wardrobe. A large family bathroom services the home, complemented by a separate guest WC for added convenience. Outdoors, the fully fenced, tiered section feels like a private tropical haven, complete with established palms, immaculate grounds and multiple garden sheds. A single internal-access garage completes the picture.

Elegant, spacious and immaculately presented, Storemont is a rare opportunity to secure a character home of this calibre in one of New Plymouth’s most sought-after lifestyle locations - just a short stroll to Pukekura Park, the CBD, Coastal Walkway and public transport.
