98 Pownall Street, Masterton

Some homes seem to have stepped straight from the pages of a storybook. Behind its beautifully kept gardens and elegant 1930s architecture, this home is one of them. Set in a premium Westside location, this substantial character home has been thoughtfully modernised while holding on to everything that makes it special. Native timber brings warmth to the interiors, generous rooms invite you to settle in, and the standard of presentation is exceptional. At the heart of the home, expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces make it easy to gather. Stainless steel baker’s benches give the distinctive kitchen its character, complemented by a 900mm oven and quality appliances. In summer, open the doors to the covered veranda and sheltered outdoor living area. When the evenings turn cool, the freestanding wood burner makes the lounge an inviting place to be. The accommodation offers three generously proportioned bedrooms, including a master with its own en-suite, while the family bathroom has both a separate bath and shower. Upstairs, a versatile fourth room could become another bedroom, an office or a second living space. Two heat pumps, quality window treatments and floor coverings, and a recently updated separate laundry add comfort and practicality to everyday life. Beyond the house, beautifully maintained lawns and landscaped grounds give this home a setting worthy of its architecture. An electronic entrance gate opens to generous off-street parking and substantial triple garaging, with a separate garden shed and dedicated wood storage completing the picture. Full of character, wonderfully spacious and ready to enjoy, this is the kind of home that stays with you long after you leave.
