This immaculately renovated post-colonial 332 sqm (approx.) villa has expansive living on each spacious floor. 21st century pizzazz cloaked behind a delicately blue-grey vintage facade will appeal to character lovers who may want to capitalise on the optimal layout to house a large extended family separately but together under one roof. Sited on a 589 sqm (approx.) freehold section, each of the quarters has flow to relax and entertain in peaceful seclusion.

Extensively renovated, upgraded, and modernised, the home faithfully retains the best elements of the early 1900s era. High stud, plaster cornices, coloured glass and polished native timber floors are accompanied by a fresh monochromatic interior. Deep toned pewter carpeting and contemporary cutting-edge fittings contrast with dazzling chandeliers on the upper floor where a lavishly generous floor plan is well served by formal separate sitting room with traditional fireplace. Next door the chic black granite and tiled kitchen has stainless steel appliances beneath bulkhead storage and a huge sociable island bench bisects this from the dining room where French doors open to a big sunny balcony. Outsize double bedrooms and two surreally overscale Italianate ceramic tiled bathrooms including ensuite to the master which has a walk-in closet too. A spacious office connected via the sun porch with a view to the street is a lovely work from home base. Downstairs the supplementary four-bedroom self-contained annexe stands on its own as a spacious retreat. All bedrooms and a huge bathroom orbit a central recreation area with outdoor access and the large open plan food preparation area echoing its upstairs counterpart for aesthetics and fittings.

Zoned for Mt Eden Normal School, Kowhai Intermediate, MAGS and AGGS and handy to the CBD by car or train, this superb property comprises a largely flat section with drive on access and ample room for the trampoline, swings, and a spa cabana.
