It's the perfectly positioned package of potential you've been waiting for - the classic character bungalow on 405m2 of freehold land, where the perks of the past seamlessly blend with modern touches.

It's a home, where the much loved features have been repurposed with respect and the personality is still in check. The bathroom and open plan kitchen have been renovated along with the wiring and plumbing - but the best bits are in situ. You've still got the claw foot bath to relax in and the original cast iron stove is here, sitting picture perfect with the rimu framing from the previous fireplace.

Light and bright, high ceilings are balanced by polished wooden floors throughout the home, suitable to a range of décor tastes. The lounge continues the character journey with the gorgeous ornate ceiling and bay window but has the smart addition of a heat pump to keep you and your home fresh, all year round. Leading out to the deck, you head towards the double garage. Currently utilised as a band room, so whether you need the undercover parking or would prefer for the music to continue, both options will be available to choose from.

For those wanting a bit of a project, or just needing a copious amount of storage, there's a huge attic space above the main dwelling for you to consider some creative options. Some touch ups are needed to really make this gem shine, so mull it over from the front porch while you take in the low maintenance garden or talk it out with a cup of coffee at one of the host of cafes and amenities in Avondale within walking distance. When you need to venture out - whether you prefer to whip about by train, bus, bike or private car - it's all here.
