An Adorable 1920's Gem!
This adorable 1920's former Railway Cottage has morphed into a much loved 3-bedroom, 100sqm family home! Current refurbishment has included the repainting of the exterior weatherboards, underfloor insulation, overhead cover at the front door porch, and provision of a Masport wood burner in the kitchen. Polished native timber flooring throughout is warm and inviting. The lounge open fireplace is still in use, assisting heating of the cottage in winter. The bathroom, ample in size boasts a bath & shower, and the laundry is tucked away on the passageway leading to the covered back verandah deck.
Partially fenced, with the house facing the front hedging, the front façade is a distinctive feature of Railway Cottages with a central recessed porch & front door flanked on either side by sash windows. Love a bit of history? These North Auckland railway line Railway Cottages were built specifically to house railway workers in the 1920's. So, imagine the stories those beautifully polished native timber floors could tell!
The back garden has raised garden beds and enjoys a peaceful rural outlook. Perfect for growing your veges. With plenty of space to roam, there's a chicken coop for a few hens to give you freshly laid eggs. Great outbuildings too - double garden shed with concrete floor, (the former outhouse back in the day).
Only a few minutes' drive from a real NZ town, Maungaturoto with schools, great coffee, and other community facilities and amenities, and for the beach, or fishing, Whakapirau seaside community is a 13 km meander through the countryside. For kids, and Mum's peace of mind 1052 is right on the school bus route. A distant memory is Auckland city circa 90 minutes' drive away.
In summary, whether first home buyers or buyers seeking an affordable living option in a rural community, 1052 offers an opportunity to add value with further renovation or a comfortable cottage lifestyle just as it is! Your retreat from city living.
