Seven Virtues and Then Some

Downsizing? First-time buyers or looking for a holiday bach? If so, there are heaps of reasons why you'll adore this lovely wee home in North Street.

First: as the name suggests she faces north, so she's blessed with excellent sun.

Second: she's well-presented. The vendors have painted and added a new rimu floor in the sunroom, complementing the existing floors in the living area.

Third: there's a heat pump and a wood-burning fire, so she's cosy as.

Fourth: opportunity abounds, either for a further makeover or future refit.

Five; there are spacious grounds with fruit trees, lush lawns, a large shed and two studios.

Six: she's adjacent to the waterfront, the beach reserve and close to the saltwater baths and the coastal/cycle path.

Seven: it's an easy distance from SH60 for commuting , or a five-minute drive to Motueka CBD for when you need shopping.

Built in 1934 the characterful home comprises a vintage timber kitchen, a living-dining area with a stone fireplace focal point, a double bedroom, a laundry, a shower room and a sunroom, (which doubles as an additional bedroom if needed). The decor throughout is 'beach-house' style in muted shades that blend with the rimu floors. Clean and tidy now, you can make changes to suit your budget and your life plan.

Moving outside, there are two delightful patios in the rear grounds where you can relax in the sun, or sit on the shady front verandah to watch the ebb and flow of the tide. A variety of citrus and other fruit trees provide a healthy bounty and there's plenty of space for you to grow vegetables, too.

If you need to accommodate family or want somewhere to work or to concentrate on your hobbies, there are two studios separate from the house and if you have vehicles there's off-street parking, plus a shed to tinker in. Cool eh?

Trust us; you won't do better if location and lifestyle top your agenda. When you view we think you'll love number 7. It's heaven!
