Picturesque Villa Offering an Idyllic Lifestyle
After 15 years, our lovely owners are downsizing. Merging vintage character with contemporary upgrades, this dignified circa 1910 villa, moments away from the CBD, Ponsonby and Takapuna and tucked away at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac, offers a tantalising family retreat. The picturesque, sun-soaked property nestles amidst luxuriant gardens on a rare full sized freehold 809 sqm (approx.) section.
The 262sqm(approx.) weatherboard home retains all the era's charm, including high-stud rooms, original native timber floors, sash windows and an archetypal central hallway. A formal sitting room features a traditional mantlepiece framing the fireplace, with French doors opening to the covered wraparound veranda.
At the rear of the home, the farmhouse style kitchen is fitted with a robust Smeg gas range, ample cabinetry and a stone-topped island incorporating a sociable bar leaner. Expansive open-plan living spaces-separable by hidden sliding doors-offer effortless flow for entertaining, with a heat pump providing ambient warmth. A window seat forms a cosy book-lover's corner, while the spacious dining area also opens to the veranda. Bifolds connect to a phenomenal glass-roofed solarium and an adjacent intimate alfresco patio.
Three luxurious double bedrooms include the master with an ensuite and walk in wardrobe and a large main bathroom, while the sleepout above the double garage boasts a fourth bedroom with sitting room, a balcony overlooking the stately Pohutukawa trees, and a white subway-tiled ensuite complete with skylight. Ample storage abounds, and the home is future proofed with solar panels. Well established gardens blend lush tropical greenery, fruit trees, raised potager beds, smooth lawns and a charming greenhouse within this secluded microclimate.
Conveniently located within a short walk of the harbour foreshore and Northcote ferry terminal, this coveted neighbourhood offers proximity to myriad amenities. In zone for Northcote School and Intermediate, and just a short drive to the Auckland Harbour Bridge for a city commute, this centrally located property is truly a unique jewel in the Queen City's crown. Adding to its appeal are the benefits of a close, family-friendly community and the vibrant local scene, with Stafford Road Wine Bar, Northcote Tavern, Engine Room Bistro and Bridgeway Cinemas all nearby-making this an idyllic place to call home.
*The 262m2 approximate floorplan has been taken from architectural plans and includes verandas, conservatory and the covered paved patio.
