18 Bassett Street, Dargaville, Kaipara, Northland

A home of history and authentic character, this vibrant circa 1900s villa is beautifully positioned upon landscaped grounds in Dargaville, the gateway to the Kauri Coast, offering a lifestyle of convenience, adventure and charm. Follow the palm tree lined drive and you'll instantly admire the original

features - the traditional fretwork, faceted bay window, veranda and native timber. Indoors, the living areas have been extended from the original floorplan and lead out to a large covered deck and backyard. The kitchen is crafted from rimu and kauri, capturing the morning sun. The dining room

features a central fireplace that warms the entire home with the aid of insulation and a heat transfer kit distributing warm air to the four bedrooms. The master bedroom opens onto the front veranda, the perfect spot for enjoying your morning coffee in peace, and shares a vintage back-to-back fireplace with the adjoining double bedroom. Enjoy a long soak in the timeless clawfoot bath in the family bathroom, complimented by a separate toilet and dedicated laundry room. All adorned with rich wooden panelling, high stud ceilings with decorative mouldings and elegant sash windows. Outdoors there's three bay garaging with workshop space, plus a sleepout for additional accommodation or work from home quarters. The landscaped grounds sprawl over 2,024 square metres, offering a lush, colourful oasis. Fully fenced with a smoker, bird aviary, chook house, garden shed, plus a single garage on the roadside and space for the camper - the list goes on, and everything has been meticulously maintained! Located on the edge of Dargaville township, everything is within easy reach, with outdoor adventures in all directions. The owners' circumstances have changed and they're committed to selling - offering you the opportunity to make this exceptional home of history your own.
