5 Ranfurly Street Otorohanga, Otorohanga District

You'll not find a property so full of potential so close to the CBD than 5 Ranfurly Street.
Welcome to this stunning piece of local history; a beautifully preserved early 1900's villa that exudes yesteryear charm - sitting on a 1300sqm (approx.) Maori Leasehold section. The bullnose verandah is a more modern 2001 addition to the home, but completely in keeping with its style and era; adding to the home's appeal. Another modern and important addition is the near new single garage for secure storage or lockup. The flat section offers endless possibilities for outdoor entertaining, back yard cricket and footy or gardening. The section is almost fully fenced, just swing a gate at the entrance and your kiddies and pets will be safe.
As you enter the home, the grandeur of the high-stud original native timber ceilings, perfectly complemented by the beautiful native timber flooring, will leave you in awe. The two generous bedrooms offer ample space, with one boasting a large dressing room which could be used for a myriad of purposes including an office, third bedroom, artroom or private lounge or boudoir. Throughout the property, you'll discover charming original features, including the sash windows, which add to the home's unique character. Although the coalrange is no longer functional, it provides another important nod to the history of the home.
The separate galley style kitchen provides a functional space for culinary creations, while the combined toilet and bathroom offers convenience and practicality, with one less room to clean. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine on the private covered deck at the rear of the home, surrounded by the tranquil atmosphere of the very flat large section. For comfort and convenience, the home features a heat pump, quality drapes, and blinds throughout.
With its attractive road frontage and versatile layout and location, although zoned residential, this property also offers exciting potential for office or light commercial use (subject to confirmation from Council) - perfect for those looking to combine business and lifestyle while being close and accessible to the CBD and a local customer base. With five roadside car parks at the front of the property, your small business customers will enjoy the convenience of having parking so close.
