Great North Road, Otamatea, Manawatu / Whanganui

Set well back from the road in an oasis of lush greenery, lies a property with a fabulous story to tell. This iconic home was designed by renowned Whanganui architect Michael Payne, and offers a blend of retro charm and tranquillity - all she needs is a new family to love!
Though some refurbishment may be required to restore the home's former splendour, the potential is undeniable. Inside, you will be greeted by soaring ceilings and spacious rooms that create a sense of grandeur, yet the living areas also manage to be intimate. The heart of the property is the kitchen and family living area, where natural light floods in through large windows, creating a bright space for entertaining or relaxing with loved ones. There is also a separate formal lounge, providing versatility for your family's needs.
The property boasts four bedrooms over two levels, and with two full bathrooms, morning routines will be a breeze. With almost 300sqm of liveable area, three studies or hobby rooms and oodles of storage, this super-sized home will see your family through until the kids leave home. The double internal access garage offers ample space for vehicles and storage, ensuring accessibility and security. 
Outside you'll find yourself surrounded by lush greenery and abundant birdlife - the city seemingly miles away, yet only 4km to the centre of town. Lovingly established over the course of several decades, the grounds are an adventure playground on over 6,000 sqm of land. Additionally, the property is subdividable (subject to council consent), offering potential for development – now, or landbank until it is time to downsize.
This unique property offers the potential to restore an architecturally interesting home, in a fantastic location – and the opportunity to secure a large amount of land with development potential. Call us to schedule a viewing today.
