“I loved the ornate ceilings, that was one of things that captured my attention when we first viewed the home,” Ms Wright said.
“The plaster Victorian ceilings and the stained glass are original. All the floorboards are original as well.
“There’s ornate fireplaces and we’ve left all the original tiling around the fireplaces. All the internal doors and hardware are original, we just restored the door frames.”
Marketing agent Chris Gemmell said the home was full of character with deep roots in Birkenhead’s history.
“You can see why the original settlers hand-picked this strategic position, high above the Sugar Refinery, with extensive harbour views across to Watchman's Island, Harbour Bridge and the CBD,” Mr Gemmell said.
“Standing the test of time, this classical double-bay villa offers space, flexible living zones and stylish modern appointments, blending the old with the new.”
The property will go to auction on November 6.
