If you’ve been searching for a comfortable and spacious home in a central, family-friendly neighbourhood, 59 Gilbert Street is certainly worth your inspection; set on minimal maintenance fully-fenced section in a desirable “dress circle” location, within walking distance to CBD, schools, Pukekura Park and New Plymouth Raceway. Boasting a generous footprint spread across two levels, this well-appointed home encompasses five generously proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the added appeal of a totally separate self-contained studio making this an attractive ‘home and income’ package (AirBnB short-term stay accommodation or for family space). The upstairs floor plan comprises three double bedrooms (including master with ensuite); each room with its own ceiling fan for those balmy summer evenings and stunning, near-new shutter blinds and ornate ceiling detailing, family bathroom with bath and tiled shower, open-plan dining and living with cosy wood-burner plus heat transfer system, and a modern entertainer’s kitchen with ample storage. The spacious living opens out to a sunny and private entertainer’s deck with a peaceful bush outlook. Downstairs features two additional bedrooms (one extra large room, complete with walk-in-wardrobe could also be fashioned as a rumpus), laundry and a third bathroom, with clever utilisation of staircase storage. Recent installation of a Goodwe Solar Power System (20x 410 Watt solar panels) is proving its efficiency, significantly reducing monthly power bills. There’s multiple heat-pumps, an HRV system, gas Infinity hot water, broadband and underfloor heating in the kitchen, family bathroom and ensuite. The modern studio includes an ensuite, kitchenette with dishwasher, washing machine and heat-pump, opening out to a private courtyard. Parking includes double garaging plus multiple off-street parking. RV $1,300,000 Offers Over $1,247,000.
