A Family-Sized Gem in the Heart of Takaro

There’s something about homes with a story. You feel it in the timber underfoot, the leadlight windows, and the sense of warmth that new builds can’t always replicate. This two-level, five-bedroom home on Chelwood Street brings all that old-world character - with the bonus of space, function and flexibility for modern family life. Downstairs, sunlight spills across polished floors, warming the kitchen and dining zone that looks straight onto the leafy backyard. The living area carries that same sense of comfort - exposed beams, French doors, and generous proportions that make gatherings feel easy. Every room has its own charm, from the bay-windowed bedroom to the library-like hallway and practical laundry and pantry spaces that keep life organised. Upstairs is designed with versatility in mind - four bedrooms and a separate study, perfect for families with teens, creatives working from home, or guests staying over. There’s even a cosy lounge area up here, ideal for reading, gaming, or winding down with a view over the neighbourhood treetops. Both bathrooms are refreshed, light and practical, adding everyday comfort. Outside, the story continues - a classic front porch, tidy lawn, garage and storage shed, plus a fully fenced yard that invites kids, pets, and weekend gardening projects. Located in the heart of Takaro, you’re perfectly placed for both lifestyle and convenience. Takaro Park and Manawaroa Park are just a stroll away for weekend walks or sports, while Takaro School, Intermediate Normal, and Palmerston North Boys’ High are all within easy reach. You’re less than five minutes from The Plaza, local cafés and supermarkets, with quick links to Rangitikei Street, SH56, and public transport routes for an easy commute across the city. With its space, character and well-connected location, this is a home that grows with you, whether you’re upsizing, investing, or looking for a forever family address in one of Palmerston North’s most accessible suburbs.
