There’s something special about a home that’s been truly loved… and you can feel it the moment you arrive here. Set on a generous 3223sqm across two titles in the peaceful semi-rural community of Dillmanstown, this beautifully kept weatherboard bungalow is the kind of property that instantly feels like home. It’s neat, it’s tidy, and it carries a warmth and nostalgia that’s becoming harder to find. Step inside and you’re greeted by stunning native Rimu wall panelling – a real nod to craftsmanship from another era. It’s rich, inviting, and gives the home a sense of character and story that new builds simply can’t replicate.The layout is practical and familiar, with a separate kitchen and dining space that feels functional and connected, while the separate living room offers a cosy retreat – warmed by a woodburner that just feels right for those cooler West Coast evenings. A heat pump, ceiling insulation and HRV ventilation system ensure year-round comfort and a healthy living environment.Accommodation is generous, with four bedrooms in total – three doubles with built-in wardrobes and a fourth single room that could easily double as a nursery, office, or hobby space.A central bathroom with shower and vanity is complemented by a separate toilet, while the separate laundry keeps the everyday running smoothly.Outside is where things really start to open up. With over 3200sqm of land across two titles, there’s space here to create the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of – gardens, fruit trees, a few chickens, maybe even that veggie patch you’ve always talked about.
