Simply the Bee's Knees
The first in a row of quaint wooden buildings that form part of Turakina's history is the Bee's Knees, a two-storey home built by George Franklin in 1856 that now offers itself as a wonderful family home and vintage furniture business. Catering for modern living while still retaining the charm of yesteryear throughout, my vendors have lovingly restored the home and grounds over the past several years and are now returning home to England, offering the house and most of its contents to a buyer with respect for the 165 year old buildings long story. The rear of the house has been opened up to be an expansive open plan kitchen, dining and living area with access to the private deck and spa pool, offering views over the cottage gardens and farmland in the distance. Although an inside bathroom was a luxury which had not been dreamed of in the 19th century, the house now boasts a modern shower and toilet and includes a laundry corner in the bathroom. Bottled gas heats the hot water supply to the kitchen and bathroom. Turned wooden newel posts mark the staircase which leads to the second floor bedrooms. Three good sized bedrooms are on this floor, with the flue from the downstairs woodburner adding warmth as it passes through the back bedroom. Reroofed in 2020, recently rewired and with good piles, you can simply move in and enjoy. For the budding entrepreneur or established business, the 1165m2 of land is zoned 8a commercial and situated in the heart of Turakina on State Highway 3. Not only is this a high-profile location, it also has street frontage, ample parking and lends itself to a passive income stream from the advertising on the two large outside walls. The central location provides access to a range of quality schooling, UCOL and Massey University, as well as being an easy 15 minute commute to Ohakea and Whanganui and 40 minutes to Palmerston North for work. This property truly is the Bee's Knees. Call Sapphire today to view.
