66 Rangitane Street, Palmerston North, Palmerston North City, Manawatu

Blood sweat and tears (not to mention a stack of money) have gone into the fine renovation of #66 Rangitane Street, and the result is a home of elegant and instantaneous attraction.

The current vendors purchased the character home almost a decade ago after falling in love with its style, size and central location close to great schooling and other local amenities. It was a different home back then though - but with smart design changes and careful renovation (including a new modern kitchen and tiled bathrooms), they have transformed it into a beautiful modern family environment. Complemented by high stud ceilings and masses of warm native wood, the amalgamation of character and functional living is spot on.

You will be able to spread out over two living areas (with a separate large living room and a family/dining area heated by a large wet backed wood-burner). Everyone will have an individual space as well, with four double bedrooms to choose from - two on the lower level and two upstairs (with an en-suite and walk-in-robe in the master).

Outside, mature trees frame a private backyard where the kids and pets can play. The back of the home also opens out to the entertainment patio where you can set up the outdoor furniture. The vendors currently use the single garage for storage, which you could too, as there is plenty of off-street parking.

If you are craving a home with a sense of depth and warmth of character, a place to cherish and call your own - then you won't be disappointed here (unless you miss out!).

Sunday's open home is the first available viewing time.

I look forward to showing you through on the day.
