309 Thames Street

Stroll in the gate and down the path through thriving gardens to the surprise reveal of this fantastic 1920’s two storied Arts and Crafts home, snuggled securely into its environs and testament to the love that has gone in for the last 16 years. The promise of character and charm delivers immediately with entry and lobby area boasting leadlight and rich rimu timbers, quaint under-stair restroom, cosy formal lounge with log fire to the right or left into the spacious and stunning family living area. Empathetically redesigned and generously extended – the result is a light flooded and sun soaked multi use space where family life can flourish. Areas for hospitality, conversation and connection flow easily round the beautiful and centrally sited kitchen. These various spaces connect internally while French doors lead out to both front and rear garden areas, the latter seamlessly onto to a kwila deck area perfect for an early morning cuppa or leisurely lunch. Up the bannistered timber stair, past a view out onto the neighbourhood then onto another central landing connecting all 4 bedrooms and generous family bathroom, easily accessed. Down the stairs again, out through the cloak room and back door you discover a roomy laundry storage area, genuine 2 car garage and attached studio room with connected bathroom, essential for the overflowing family, visiting friend or Air BnB guest. The quiet and calm of the extensive fruit, vegetable and flourishing flower gardens is surprising given the main street location, as is the meeting of the charm and grace of yesteryear with the comfort and convenience of today. The neighbourhood includes kids childcare, the girls’ high school so close, primary schools plus shops nearby. The promise here to any prudent purchaser is a home to love.
