Renovated cottage a charmer

The listing of what's being called "the quintessential Arrowtown cottage" is generating keen interest.
At 21 Berkshire St, 'The Arrow' is a fully-renovated character cottage, clad in traditional-looking schist and weatherboard, that's said to blend charm with modern comfort.
Built in 1997, the current owners completely renovated the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home three years ago, transforming it from "a rather nice cottage into a masterpiece," local Walker & Co Realty's Hamish Walker says.
"People who go through it don't expect the quality of the renovation.
"It's incredibly warm and in a coveted location, 20 trees to the Fork & Tap or 40 if you're walking home after a few pints.
"High-end finishes and plenty of natural light make it feel like home the moment you step inside."
The 738 square metre section's behind electric gates, while the fully-fenced backyard includes an outdoor wood fire and a raised deck that'd suit a hot tub.
Walker says he's had interest from Auckland and Australia, and from both would-be owner-occupiers and holiday homeowners — there's visitor accommodation consent for 180 days a year.
The sale's by deadline sale closing August 12 — the capital valuation's $3.17million.
