This substantially upgraded 1924 villa retains the features, style and spirit of the original, with its three generous bedrooms, leadlight windows and beautifully moulded plaster ceilings. The house has complete underfloor and ceiling insulation to high standard, with most of the windows double glazed. A Pyroclassic woodburner with wetback efficiently heats the main living areas.

It is a place for family and entertainment, with plenty of outside space and an excellent inside-outside flow.The entertainment area is outstanding, with tastefully decorated dining room separated by sliding doors from the spacious lounge, sitting room and kitchen.

Behind the main house is a detached building containing three rooms and a laundry. The building could be used as an office, for extra bedrooms, ideal for teenagers, or could be readily converted into a separate flat. (One room is fully insulated)

A paved drive leads to a four-year-old double garage and parking area for at least two other cars.

The section is very sheltered and sunny with deep fertile soil. It has been developed into an productive organic garden, with fruit trees and as many vegetable plots as you want.

Otaki Village with its library, supermarket, health centre, department store and video shop is only ten minutes walk away. It is near the Wananga o Raukawa and handy to the beach.
