Auction Wednesday - last weekend to view
From the street, the white picket gate and intricate villa fretwork deliver that instant, magic curb appeal. It's the classic dream, right? But 53 Grotto Street is more than just a pretty face. Step inside, and you'll find all the character you crave - high-stud ceilings, rich timber details, a classic central hall - but with none of the old-house compromises. This home has been smartly transformed, is centrally heated and blends its timeless soul with a perfectly modern, cosy feel.
The social core is a stylishly renovated kitchen, which nails the brief with its deep farmhouse sink, sleek stone benchtops, and bright, panelled walls. The bathroom is just as sharp, mixing crisp subway tiles and a frameless glass shower with warm timber finishes. Three great-sized bedrooms give everyone their own space, including a master with that beautiful bay window. The home comes with a separate storage room and a generous tandem car park, a fantastic bonus for the area.
Set on a freehold 436m2 section, your new lifestyle is as convenient as it is charming. Leave the cars parked and take the 3-minute walk to the train station; you're just 12 minutes from Newmarket and 20 odd minutes from the CBD. Weekends are for strolling to Onehunga's vibrant cafes, destination bars, and the Dressmart precinct. With easy motorway access in all directions (including the airport) and beloved landmarks like One Tree Hill and Jellicoe Park just moments away, this home offers it all. It's the character you crave, with the modern convenience you need. This is freehold villa living, done right.
