1 Maire Way Ohakune, Northland, New Zealand

WOW, open the door and check out where old world charm meets modern convenience in this compact and impressively renovated 1920’s railway cottage. All of the hard work has been done in this house, and many of the great features are the ones you can’t see! There is impressive insulation underfloor, in the ceiling and in some of the exterior walls, a new wood burner that has a heat transfer system, a gas infinity system for instant hot water and great pressure, new guttering and downpipes and new electrical work which was done during the renovation. There are the most beautifully polished wooden floors throughout and this charmer boasts four bedrooms, one with an ensuite, an open plan living area with a funky and modern kitchen, and separate laundry opening on to the rear deck. The living area also spills out on to this large deck, perfect for entertaining in the warmer months, with the peaceful sound of the stream running along the backyard boundary. Tons of room for parking and there are three outside sheds currently used for wood, storage and garden.

This beautiful cottage has been cleverly restored to be comfortable and convenient in the 21st century, it really is a must see!
