DECEASED ESTATE - 1900s Colonial Cottage

Auction: at 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 26 April 2023 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)

First time on the market in 47 years and over half its' life with one owner, this quaint railway home has stood the test of time and is full of character and charm.

Built in the early 1900s from trusted solid materials including rich timbers, this is so beautifully original it really takes you back in time. From the moment you walk through the white picket gate with the flowering camelias and meander down the path to the wide front entrance inviting you in, to the beautiful character features throughout the home including wide entrance, high stud ceilings and sash windows - it gives you such a feeling of comfort and joy.

The home has three double bedrooms with a semi-detached fourth bedroom to the rear (with good separation and its own entry, this could serve as a great guest room or teenage retreat). The main living area has large colonial windows which let the sun stream in and a central fireplace for those cosy winter evenings. The sunk in dining room or sunroom has French doors to create some indoor/outdoor flow to the private sundrenched North facing garden.

Off the living area there is a sweet country kitchen which takes you through to the rear of the property. Old fashioned bricks pave the way to the lovely garden with fruit trees and an incredible large workshop/hobbies room, somewhere for the table tennis table or even kids playroom. The laundry is off this with a surprise for everyone.

Located in a charming, no exit, quiet street on a private, fully fenced, freehold site of 500m2 and within walking distance to Cornwall Park, cafes, public transport, good schools and Dress Mart, this is not one to be missed.
