The Classic Kiwi Home: Sun, Space & Character!

Beautifully presented and positioned to enjoy a sunny, private and sheltered setting, this charming 1960s weatherboard home offers the perfect combination of warmth, character and practicality in one of Newlands' most family-friendly locations.

Inside, the home features three well-proportioned bedrooms, all complete with built-in wardrobes, while the spacious lounge provides a comfortable place to relax year-round. A wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere through the cooler months, and seamless flow to the private north-facing deck makes entertaining easy through summer.

Whether it's hosting BBQs with friends or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this outdoor space is one you'll love spending time in.

Recently upgraded throughout to offer a fresh, bright and modern feel, the home still retains the charm and character of its 1960s era. The kitchen offers great storage and functionality, with a separate laundry conveniently positioned alongside – also offering future potential to be converted into a scullery or butler's pantry. The bathroom includes a shower over bath, ideal for families, while central heating adds extra comfort throughout the home.

Outside, the established grounds are private and surrounded by mature planting, creating a peaceful setting complete with a lemon tree, fruit trees and two spacious garden sheds for additional storage.

With drive-on access, a carport and easy commuter access into the CBD, this home delivers convenience alongside lifestyle.
