This extensively renovated 1930s brick home in sought-after Opoho will dazzle the senses.
From a sheltered doorstep enter the hallway, where you’ll find art deco paneling, rejuvenated rimu floors, and ample closet space. Wonderful updates include: a super heat pump that warms the hall and the three recently carpeted double bedrooms; thick, pure wool insulation in the ceiling, batts underneath; and a beautiful new bathroom with a soaker tub and separate shower. The extra large master has a walk-in, while the other two have big built-in closets. All bedrooms come with thermal curtains; two are custom-made out of Finnish Marimekko fabric.
Down the hall, arrive into the newly reconfigured part of the house: an open plan kitchen and living space, where light and warm colours abound. The bright kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and a view through the double glazed wood-framed doors. Your eye will immediately wander to the expansive adjoining windows, also double glazed and framed with wood. The spectacular vista is of the garden, the Valley, Pine Hill, and beyond. Watch the ever-changing weather and the glorious sunsets from the comfort of underfloor and wall insulation, 2nd heat pump, gas fireplace, rimu floors, and thermal curtains. The back doors open onto the deck, perfect for BBQs and bird watching.
Down the stairs and around the corner beset with roses is the huge basement. Here you will find workbenches, separate rooms, even a working toilet. Back outside and into the garden you will discover a nature-lover’s dream. There’s a large strawberry patch, apple trees, roses galore, and seemingly endless flowers, shrubs, native trees, and herbs.
See the kids off to school from your bedroom window, walk to work through the Botanical Gardens, mountain bike up the hill on weekends. Enjoy everything this spectacular home and location have to offer!
