REFRESHED RURAL CHARMER READY TO ENJOY
If you’re searching for a home that blends rural calm, modern comfort, and village convenience, 384 Waitohi Road deserves your attention.
This beautifully maintained 1920s bungalow has been lovingly cared for over the decades, and the current owners have added thoughtful upgrades to ensure it feels fresh, warm, and inviting. The master bedroom and a second bedroom have been tastefully refreshed, enhancing the home’s natural light and giving these spaces a crisp, modern feel. The master in particular enjoys glorious early morning sun, making it a standout retreat. The polished matai flooring and rimu detailing remain a defining feature, offering the character and craftsmanship that modern builds often lack. In the evenings, the lounge (which was seamlessly added on in 1988) captures the last of the day’s light - a perfect place to unwind by the log fire, which continues to anchor the home with its cosy ambience.
Outdoor living is equally appealing. The sheltered courtyard is ideal for autumn evenings around the brazier, while the expansive grounds and a couple of paddocks offer room for kids to explore, climb trees, or keep a few pets. For those needing serious storage or workspace, the 16m x 7.5m shed with power and wifi is ideal for anyone with vehicles, boats, campervans, or creative projects. The garage includes an additional workshop, a flexible office/sleepout, the laundry, and an attached carport. Meticulously cared for over the years, this home offers a rare blend of comfort and peaceful rural living, enhanced by the enduring style of its era. Come and see why it’s been so well-loved.
