83 Vivian Street, New Plymouth, Taranaki, 4310, New Zealand
You may have driven past this charming mid-1920’s character home, perched on a rise in Vivian Street’s medical mile, and wondered what it might be like inside – well, to be honest, it’s like an older lady in need of revival after the busy family life of the last four decades!
On a compact footprint, this house’s location is a standout feature: walk five minutes to theatre, museum, restaurants, cafes and shops; ten minutes walk and you’re at the movies, the ocean walkway, the Huatoki track or Pukekura park. A short drive and you’re at schools, supermarkets, and sporting venues.
This two-storey home’s original features are sure to captivate those who appreciate the charm of a bygone era. Solidly constructed of native timbers, with road frontage windows double-glazed, the house has a quirky floorplan: downstairs includes a large lounge and separate dining room for entertaining, a modern kitchen, laundry and handy toilet, a spacious family room for creative pursuits, media, or relaxing watching the tuis come and go, and an ‘inner room’ which lends itself to quiet reflection, reading, conversation or music making.
Upstairs you’ll be captivated by expansive sea views in the master bedroom and two offices almost nestled within the kauri and ginko trees outside. Two other bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the spaces upstairs.
The garden surrounding the property is a true haven, featuring a lovely flat lawn where children and pets can play freely in safe surroundings. Established trees attract beautiful native birdlife, creating a serene environment for outdoor enjoyment. For those with a green thumb, a greenhouse, and raised vegetable garden beds await.
Embrace this opportunity to make this home your own, adding your personal touch to the timeless beauty that already exists.
