Korokoro

Such a rare find - a big Victorian villa (261m2) with 5 big double bedrooms in a great location in Island Bay. All the charm, character and ageless elegance of the era has been retained while the owners have modernised the living area to reflect the contemporary lifestyle we expect today. The back portion of the house was completely rebuilt in 2006/2007 and now enjoys a really large open plan living area with French doors opening onto a fantastic covered outdoor courtyard and the child friendly back yard. This is just perfect for family living - a kitchen with heaps of bench and storage space, a large dining area, generous lounge and a courtyard which is perfect for BBQ's and family meals in the sun. The large section has plenty of room for all the children's activities and you can keep an eye on them from the kitchen. All the bedrooms are really generous and have been hard-lined but do need cosmetic upgrading. There's also a big, family-sized laundry with a second shower and toilet - an essential in a family home. It's an easy stroll to the bus stop, the village shops and cafes, the Empire and both schools plus a large single garage to get the car off the road. This is a home that has stood the test of time (110 years), accommodated family needs over the years with plenty of flexible spaces and will continue to wrap its comfortable arms around the next family. This is a fantastic opportunity to secure a wonderful family home for your family. Ring me now to view - Lorraine Edwards 0274 462 103 or 383 8282
