249 Puketotara Road, Kerikeri, Far North

Timeless bungalow charm

Set well back from the road, a beautifully presented weatherboard bungalow sits in a private haven surrounded by lush subtropical gardens.

Originally relocated from central Auckland, this grand lady has settled beautifully into the landscape. Her 1950s heritage shines through in the thoughtful internal art deco details. Etched glass doors, graceful, curved archways and an elegant fireplace mantle are subtle reminders of a bygone era and hint at a home that may once have been built for someone of importance.

Freshly painted inside and out, this home is ready to be enjoyed from day one. Original matai flooring and renovated bathrooms respect the home's character. A practical kitchen with a charming bifold window sits at the heart of everyday living. Three bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, and two living areas with dining provide flexibility for families of all ages.

French doors open to a substantial deck overlooking one of the most inviting lawns you'll find. Stepping down to a generous patio surrounded by tropical planting, this outdoor space feels made for family celebrations. Whether it's summer barbecues, milestone birthdays or children enjoying the built-in playground, the expansive level lawn and seamless connection between indoors and out create a setting designed for bringing people together.

Practicality has not been forgotten either. A separate double garage, separate laundry and extensive off-street parking provide ample room for vehicles, boats, caravans and visiting guests.

Offering warmth, character and a genuine sense of home, this is a property that will capture your heart from the moment you arrive.
