Like many New Zealand suburban homes, this weatherboard house with its distinctive dormer windows over the garage has been extended to accommodate a growing family and the changing lifestyle of its owners.
Starting life as a bungalow in the 1930s the original character of the house is hard to identify apart from what remains in some of the windows. More extensions are planned to enable a greater amount of space to be available at the rear of the house.
This house is also the home of an artist who spends a great deal of time in his studio located at the rear. The roof of the studio will lift off to reveal his work in progress inside.
