A beautiful bungalow in Onetangi is ready for the next family to enjoy its old world charm and welcoming atmosphere. A short walk from the beach, cafes and buses, this relocated 3-4 bedroom plus study home is circa 1930s, complete with recent plumbing, wiring, roof and newly painted throughout. Gorgeous solid rimu floors line the home, which is interspersed with quirky architectural features steeped in history from last century: it even has original joinery in good condition. The living areas are spacious with bi-fold windows to bring the outside in. The bedrooms are generous in size, bathed in sunshine and have built-in wardrobes, which aren't often found in classic bungalows.
If you're a foodie, you'll love the stylish entertainer's kitchen (double oven and six-burner stove) and the sprawling deck outside on which to serve friends and family your creations or fire up the BBQ.
For cosy days during cooler weather, a wood burner heats the entire house.
And don't forget the large, traditional garden with views of vineyards, olive groves and even an orchard close by, which can all be enjoyed in privacy and in a quiet location. Take in the honeysuckle and rambling roses and re-live retro summer days from your childhood. Store your kayaks and sea toys in a great space under the house, and stock up the two new utility sheds with outdoor equipment.
The office is well with a separate entrance from the house - an ideal set up for working from home- containing work and home life in perfect balance.
Of course, creative opportunities for renovation are more than possible to dive into - make this place your own. But, whatever you do, make sure you enjoy this summer in your new home
