Overview

Shabby Chic Cottage is a truly special and lovingly restored 1928 home, tucked back from the road for privacy yet perfectly positioned close to town. From the carport, you are welcomed through a charming front garden shaded by a beautiful Kowhai tree and into a home filled with warmth and character. At the heart of the home is the stunning country-style kitchen, complete with a statement Orion range for winter warmth and baking, exposed native timber sarking, original restored cabinetry and filtered drinking water. Two bedrooms and a stylish designer bathroom sit to the east of the home. Both bedrooms have polished whitewashed native timber floors - the generous master bedroom is currently used as a yoga and healing space. The lounge offers tranquil views over garden, river and rolling hills, with gorgeous native timber floors and a whitewashed brick Kent fireplace creating a calm retreat. A further small room on the garden side of the home provides flexibility as a third bedroom, office, or hobby space. Outside, the quarter-acre section is a true sanctuary - fully fenced, rich with flowers, established vegetable gardens, and an impressive selection of fruit trees. Hundreds of native plants line the boundaries, offering increasing privacy and a sense of seclusion. With the Whanganui River just beyond the back gate, daily walks and riverside living are right at your doorstep. Recent upgrades include exterior repainting, insulation, updated electrical fittings and under-house plumbing, a new hot water cylinder, re-lined walls, and a renovated laundry/workshop and guest toilet. All within easy walking distance to shops, library, cafes, childcare, and sports facilities - this is character living with modern comfort in an unbeatable location.
