21On the outside, this 1900s worker's cottage looks much like it always would have. The inside however - totally transformed. Skillful and clever renovations of the narrow, gabled interior have produced a sophisticated home with linked spaces, a restrained use of quality materials and an adept use of every space. In the open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room you'll see how this works so beautifully. From the smooth oak lined ceiling panels, to the sleek kitchen cabinetry and sparse colour palette, there's a sense of calm and connection - flow to the front, and out to the delightful cottage garden at the rear. The mezzanine, accessed by a stylish timber turned staircase leading from the dining room, has much-needed living, sleeping and working space. Oak imbues the zone with warmth; the grain adds interest. A skylight in the gable roof throws a well-deserved spotlight on just what has been achieved. Character cottages are not known for storage space so building this in was key. Under the stairs, within the bedrooms - including a stylish and smart wardrobe system - and even the upstairs bedhead has storage within. There's even a spot for your shoes in the hallway - a place for everything. And the renovation also ensured a contemporary bathroom and additional powder room. There are premium appliances, fixtures and fittings throughout but of special note is the programable Casambi lighting in the kitchen, dining and living spaces that can be programmed via an app on your phone. The kitchen/dining lighting fittings are in a magnetised track that allows you to reposition the light fixtures as you like - or add more. There are quality finishes throughout, terrazzo tiles in the kitchen/WC, American white oak veneer on the floors and walls, built-in shelving and planters, full insulation - and radiator heating throughout. Mount Cook is ideally located within walking distance to Massey University, the hospitals and it's an easy walk, bus, cycle or drive to the CBD. Resident's parking is right at the gate. Our owners are justifiably proud of their home and sad to leave, however with a growing family a larger property is in their sights, so what an opportunity for the next lucky owner. Time is of the essence so do not hesitate - call for your private viewings, or see you at the open homes.
