2 Martin Street, Waikanae

Grey Friars Cottage is the epitome of a box of delights, with the design and layout of a bygone age juxtaposed against a wonderfully curated decor and modern build practices. Only twelve years old, you have the wonderful charm, design, and features of a 1920's cottage, yet with all the comfort of a fully insulated and fully double-glazed modern home. Upon entry, you are immediately struck by the height of the ceilings, which, in conjunction with the automated skylight, provide a sense of light and space, with the character provided by the large gas fireplace and gorgeous sash windows which can open top to bottom and vice-versa. Everything has flow, and the eye is led to the beautifully presented kitchen that has an old school country style with a modern twist. The Belfast sink and aga-style rangehood sit easily with the granite benchtops and modern oven and gas hob. Offered are three double bedrooms, the option of a fourth single bedroom, or as its used currently, a generous office. The master and second bedroom share the en-suite and walk-in robe and all bedrooms are in easy reach of the wonderful main bathroom. Adjacent to the laundry, classy and flooded with light, from the oversized shower to the characterful vanity and large claw-footed bath. For added comfort, both bathrooms have the bonus of underfloor heating. The charm continues to the exterior with an intimate deck and low-maintenance garden, with the shed and utilities tucked away from view. Also offered is a single garage that houses further laundry options, and an additional shower. Attached to the garage is a large space used at present as an art studio but offering so many options to someone with vision. The property is completed by off-street ample parking, and space for a trailer, motorhome, or caravan. Attention to detail is everywhere in this beautiful and understated home, where new meets old in perfect harmony. Viewing By Appointment only - please call to arrange a time....
