Character Cottage, Great Location

This sweet cottage is at the quiet end of sought after Eastbourne, with easy access to public transport, the beach, bush tracks and Pencarrow coastal trail. Add great sunshine to a flat, fully fenced section and you begin to realise this is an opportunity to seize! With 3 bedrooms and several living spaces it is great for smaller families, brilliant for a single or couple, and the perfect lock up and leave when travel calls. With several character features remaining, the property was extended approximately 22 years ago and will benefit from your decorator's paintbrush. Well worth it, when you consider the following features:

- Lovely street appeal, with a picket fence and an apple tree in the front garden
- A fully fenced section to keep your pets and children safe
- Single level, with a high stud and original rimu joinery throughout the older rooms
- 3 bedrooms, including 1 with built in bunk beds and another with built in 'mezzanine' bed
- A sun room to the front, which is a perfect home office if required
- Spacious lounge to the front plus open plan kitchen, dining and family room to the rear
- Excellent flow to sunny rear lawn, deck and garden
- Full family bathroom
- Fully treated for borer June 2023
22 Matipo Street is easy to love - call me today, view soon and make it yours!

Enter the heartwarmingly cheerful front door, into the carpeted sunroom. Set up your desk to make this the perfect home office.

Spacious and traditional with a high stud, rich rimu joinery and gorgeous character windows. Carpet underfoot, a heat pump and skylight combine to provide modern comfort.

1. A double room, off the lounge. The floor is carpeted, and there is shelving and hanging space.

2. A double, accessed from the hall, with built in bunk beds, storage space and carpet.

3. Also located off the hallway, this room has a built-in mezzanine bed that leaves plenty of room for a desk and other essentials.

1. The bathroom is filled with natural light and has a bath and separate shower. A secondary door from the rear deck enables a direct route from the beach to the shower, without scattering sand in the house. There is an extractor fan and heated towel rail.

Discreetly and conveniently behind bi-folding doors, with a wash tub, and opposite the kitchen pantry.

Installed as part of the rear extension approximately 22 years ago, the kitchen is compact yet eminently practical. The kitchen is open plan to the dining area and also a lovely casual living room. Relax in the sun after a busy day at school, work or play. Through the French doors is a lawn and a deck that capitalises on the superb aspect. The lemon tree is a big bonus!

Behind the front picket fence a pretty patio garden extends a warm welcome. When in season, delicious apples fill the tree, with beautiful blossom a prequel to the bounty. A concrete pad provides off-street parking. To the rear, drenched with year round sun, is a lawn and excellent decking for your garden furniture. Open the French doors from the family room to enjoy perfect flow inside and out. You can relax knowing that the property is fully fenced for your children and pets.

A concrete pad provides off-street parking.

Muritai School, Eastbourne (Primary/Intermediate); Hutt Valley High School. There are also several private and integrated schools throughout the Hutt Vally and across Wellington.

There are heat pumps in the lounge and family room.
