Calling all lovers of character, charm, and history. Step back in time to an era when homes were built to last with grace, personality, and artistry etched into every detail. Welcome to 13 Pope Terrace, an iconic 1915 villa, relocated from Wellington to Cambridge in 1985, and treasured ever since.
From the moment you arrive through its striking red door, the home's presence is undeniable. Leadlight windows catching the light, ornate balustrades tracing the staircase, chandeliers sparkling above rooms that feel both elegant and inviting. There are stories in every detail and sunlight in every room.
Set over two storeys, this remarkable villa offers a wealth of living. Four distinct living spaces unfold across the ground floor: a light-filled modern open plan kitchen with large Falcon gas burner that flows to the dining and sun-trapped family area where daily life feels effortless. Or relax in the serene sunroom spilling out to a spacious covered patio, where the sound of the water feature invites rest and reflection. A formal lounge rich with character makes entertaining in style a breezy, and a cosy sitting room perfect for quiet moments and relaxed evenings. The grand ground floor is serviced by a large bathroom with toilet, plus a separate toilet to cater to guests. A dedicated office completes the picture, providing a space to work or create.
Step outside and the story continues- alfresco dining, terraced gardens alive with fruit trees, and peaceful corners to savour the seasons.
Upstairs, the roomy bedrooms await. A beautifully detailed bathroom serves as a retreat, with its elegant vanity and timeless finishes. A sunny dressing room or nursery offers versatility, while two bedrooms open directly to the upstairs balcony - a perfect place to greet the morning and take in the views. The entire home is serviced by three heat pumps, ensuring year-round comfort and the double garage caters to storage needs.
All of this, set just footsteps from the river trails and a gentle stroll into the heart of town.
This is not simply a home - it is a piece of history, reimagined for modern life. A villa of rare beauty, warmth, and soul. Discover the magic of 13 Pope Terrace. A home like no other, waiting for its next chapter to be written. Give Team Eilish & Amy a call for more information.
