12 Pembroke Street, Highbury, Palmerston North City, Manawatu

Shhhh... here's the secret recipe: take a 3-bedroom house, add your belongings, mix in the family, listen for the laughter, slowly add special moments, and watch it rise to produce a healthy, happy family home full of cherished memories. 12 Pembroke Street has used that recipe for the last14 years now and the proof is in the pudding! You'll experience the special family vibe they have created the moment you step inside.

Over the years the home has been renovated to a nice standard, including the addition of a stylish modern kitchen featuring stainless steel and composite stone bench-tops. The kitchen flows open plan into the dining /living area creating a real heart to the home and an ideal space to relax with family or entertain friends.

Three bedrooms will cater to your family, including a walk-in wardrobe for you in the master. You'll also be well set up for the morning rush with a modern family bathroom and separate toilet.

The garaging/carport is something else! (plus a large car pad at the front perfect for the boat or caravan) and room for all the toys: cars, bikes and a workshop. PLUS - there's a huge rumpus room to be utilised as a kid's games room, home office or teenage retreat - any way you use it, there'll be plenty of space to meet your family's needs.

Outside the section is bathed in sunshine and fully fenced front and back, so the kids can race around outside in bare feet and enjoy the summer worry free. To top it off you'll have raised boxed vege gardens, a good-sized woodshed to stack for winter and a garden shed to store the tools.

So here it is - a 1970's property with lovely street appeal that feels like home - all you need to do is add your own ingredients and let the memories grow.
