Hokowhitu - Spacious central villa in Palmerston North

Description

This beautifully preserved turn-of-the-century villa offers a rare chance to own a full-sized 840m2 (more or less) section in the heart of Palmerston North. Combining beautiful craftsmanship, spacious gardens, and modern functionality, this property is the ideal choice for families and visitors, individuals seeking a peaceful retreat, or buyers with an eye for sub-division or business homes. A home full of character and light, the house features warm and beautifully maintained native wood. The interior retains much of its original character, including intricate coloured glass windows. Sunlight filtering through, these windows bring a vibrant glow to the living spaces - making the house come alive whenever the sun is out. An air-distribution system circulates efficiently throughout the house. The interior paintwork and carefully selected decor reflect light, adding to the homes inviting and airy feel. With space to play and grow, and set on a generous 840m2 (approx.) section, the property provides an abundance of space, both inside and out. Families will love the large, flat garden - a secure and versatile area ideal for children, pets, or outdoor activities and planting. The garden includes 14 established fruit trees - apples, pears, oranges, grapefruit, figs, walnuts, papaya, and loquat - offering fresh produce throughout the seasons. A dedicated veggie garden further enhances the homes self-sustaining appeal with no limitations to additional sustainable growing. The outdoor living consists of two well-positioned decks extend the homes living spaces outdoors: a large deck facing the backyard catches the morning sun, making it an ideal spot for breakfast or a peaceful coffee in the morning sun. A private north-facing deck gives privacy in the afternoon and access to a sheltered spa pool and outdoor solar shower. Practicality and potential await! The large off-street parking area can accommodate up to seven vehicles, while the covered carport provides sheltered storage for one car, a gym or other equipment. What sets this property apart, is its potential for subdivision. The section size opens possibilities for future development, whether it's creating a separate back section, additional parking space, or a standalone dwelling. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare in central Palmerston North, where larger sections have largely been subdivided. The properties location is within short walking distance of central local cafes, shops, and supermarkets, nearby schools and childcare centres, parks and recreational spaces are close by, and public transport hubs offer easy connections.
