There is no denying this stylish home will captivate those looking for a new creative property that adjoins a restful and private bush reserve.

A visionary family buyer will love this sun filled entertainer, the reserve walkways, and popular Summerhill shopping village. Zoned for College Street, Palmerston North Intermediate, Palmerston North Boys’ High and Palmerston North Girls’ High schools.

On entry the chic modern ground floor enjoys a volume of fabulous light and airy space where an entertainers kitchen and relaxed family living area take in the postcard outlook. At either end of this amazing living area are two intimate living rooms you will love. The family lounge and a separate family room to complete three special living areas for the family to utilise.

To complete the ground floor is a well located office by the kitchen, toilet with handbasin, laundry and superb storage room. Underfloor heating is efficiently heated by the popular log burner wetback system easily converted to gas at the buyers choice.

A large feature deck has been designed to wrap around the house for outdoor living and the predominantly flat easy to maintain section has character.

So Bryan and Morag’s big day arrived! It was a little rainy in the morning, but we were super lucky to have dry weather for the ceremony and the majority of the bridal party shots. All in all it gave me some nice diffuse light to work with.

Here are some shots from their big day

70 Heretaunga Street, Hospital

If you appreciate architecture and a private spectacular home retreat with views across the region only 10 minutes from the city on the Massey side, then this treed sheltered environment is the idyllic setting for you. Architect  Bruce Barry Architects designed the home 20 odd years ago to incorporate four bedrooms and three bathrooms for a family and guest accommodation all under the one roof. The brief was clear but had to have maximum sun. It has worked fabulously well since that time and now our retired owners are moving north.

To unwind and come home to nature is something special the owners say. The home could possibly also suit for home stay, a professional couple or family. The location allows for easy access from the Manawatu to the Hawkes Bay or Wellington which may benefit some.

The 320m2 home features open plan living to expansive glazing and decking to take in sun, views and the natural treed outlook. High ceilings and clever design features are scattered throughout the home. The master bedroom, ensuite and spa bath sit proud and private on the upper level with bush views. There are three bedrooms ideally suited for teenage children and a good sized family bathroom plus three toilets in the home. The home is heated by a lovely woodburner perfect for the setting.

The guest accommodation is in a private space that has mostly been used as a games room area which will be flexible to the buyer who might also be looking for a place of business at home or a hobbies room or granny flat. There is a double internal access garage/workshop plus off street parking for two or three more vehicles.

This is a property has no lawns to mow, no livestock paddocks and the undulating hilly land contour is covered in trees and native bush. There are some walkways but they will require clearing. We would liken the feeling of this home to a ski chalet in the alps. A rare find. Every room has a view.
