2 Porritt Place, Putaruru, Waikato 3411

Classic, classy and completely one of a kind, this 1930's character home is certainly a heart catcher that can only increase in value. It may be 90 years old, but it bears its age with beauty, charm and an ageless character enhanced by having been lovingly restored from top to bottom. The skilful owners have brought new life to this wonderful home through their renovating experience and with the help of experts in the engineering and building professions. The home's solid rimu construction has been immaculately restored to its former charm by retaining features that tell the home's story. The home's character has been respected and preserved but with improvements that have brought it up to today's specs and comfort. Wonderful 12-foot stud ceilings, original rimu doors and stunning rimu floors, a new in-character kitchen, new bathroom and four spacious bedrooms - each with its own distinctive charm and delightful outlook. The house has been totally re-wired, re-plumbed, insulated throughout (including floor and walls), every window has been double-glazed and two heat pumps provide all the warmth needed. The outdoor fully decked and covered living area enables comfort and shelter whatever the weather. The only nod to modern day is the seven-metre Versatile garage/workshop and double carport expertly constructed with additional space for the home handyman to tinker. Nothing has been overlooked in the careful restoration of this classic family home that was originally moved on to this private, elevated corner site several years ago. An engineered retaining wall and professional drainage system ensures the home's stability and weatherproofing, while attention to detail has created a fantastic outdoor space and ease of access to all areas of the home and garden. The landscaped garden complements the home's character but has been created to be as low maintenance as possible and virtually looks after itself. The section is fully fenced for pets and children and the creatively planted hedging provides a sense of privacy and tranquillity. Secondary and intermediate schools are within walking distance, the bustling heart of Putaruru is a short drive away and the neighbourhood is one of the quietest in the town. A beauty and perfectly priced for the current market, this family home has a real sense of place. Everything has been done - just move in and enjoy! Property ID: #MAT22108
