Mid century glamour in the heart of Russell

Welcome to York House.

From the moment you enter the front gate of York Street, you will realise that this property is incredibly special. Formerly the original family cottage, York Street has recently been extensively renovated and is a stunning example of a mid century home with modern flair. Elegantly decorated with a mix of modern and mid century furniture, York Street represents interior design at its most current.

Flanked by two large palm trees the front door welcomes you straight into the striking lounge area with a cozy gas fire, perfect for winter getaways. The open plan downstairs leads you through the dining room with big bay windows either to the elegantly landscaped and private outdoor area or the entertainer’s kitchen and downstairs bathroom and single bedroom. 

Upstairs, two queen sized bedrooms and king single bedroom await. The upstairs bathroom contains a gorgeous rain shower and the centrepiece of the bathroom, a stunning copper bath. 

Where possible, the design has included recycled and repurposed material including the upstairs copper basin which was formerly the hot water cylinder. 

A full laundry and ample storage make York Street perfect for short or long term rentals and is ideal for families and groups of friends. 

Bathed in sun and close to all the best amenities Russell has to offer, York Street is a testament to beautiful design throughout and will be featured in the upcoming New Zealand House and Garden Magazine. 

Fully fenced with off street parking, a bbq for the summer months and next to the world famous Hone’s Garden Pizzeria with the newly reopened Four Square supermarket two minutes’ walk away. The locale is perfect. 

This recent edition to the Russell Holiday Houses property portfolio has been equipped with the same level of thoughtfulness and design that you have come to appreciate from these truly unique holiday offerings. 

Linens, towels and wifi are included in the letting fee. 

The neighbouring Temiringa is also available to let, perfect for larger groups such as corporate getaways, conferences, as wedding accomodation or for family reunions. Please contact us or refer to the website for more information about renting one or more properties for a special occasion or large group requirements.
