Property Description

Rich in character and quietly grand, this very private 1950s weatherboard residence is a home with many a story to tell. Beautiful in its day and still full of presence, it now offers an exciting opportunity for rejuvenation, allowing the next owner to refresh and reimagine its timeless appeal.
A gracious entrance sets the tone, with high ceilings, classic sash windows, and native timber detailing throughout. Five generously sized bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, each with its own personality, while the kitchen, dining, and living spaces are well positioned for family life and future enhancement. Upstairs, a large additional room offers versatility as a studio, creative space, or kids’ retreat.
The conservatory is a standout feature flooded with natural light and opening through bi-fold windows to views across the established gardens and inviting swimming pool.
Set on an expansive 1,899sqm (more or less) section, the grounds are sunny, fenced, and private, with mature plantings, generous lawn space, and a large saltwater swimming pool creating a peaceful urban oasis. Practical features include two bathrooms, radiators, a wood-burner, and a large double garage.
All of this sits just minutes from Rotorua’s CBD, schools, walking tracks, and local amenities. This is a property for those who appreciate character and craftsmanship, and who see the potential to breathe new life into a beautiful, time-honoured home.
A dignified residence offering old-world ambience, generous proportions, and outstanding potential. A rare opportunity to secure a substantial character home in a tightly held urban setting.
