Or is it more like Ponsonby on the Northern Wairoa River?
Either way, this fabulous century+ old Villa, is a homestead for those discerning home owners who abhor ordinary everyday cookie-cutter homes!
Built around the mid-late 1800s, this character-rich home, in central Dargaville, retains much of its original kauri floors, exposed beams, generously-sized downstairs master bedroom, two cute loft children's bedrooms, and an inviting front verandah, which together all reflect the craftsmanship and material quality of late 19th-century Northland architecture.
Modern updates include a contemporary kitchen and bathroom amenities, along with a freestanding lounge fireplace and heatpump in the living areas.
The residence offers approximately 160sqm of living space, featuring generously sized lounge, dining, and modern kitchen; large ground-floor master bedroom and two cute attic bedrooms/study; bathroom amenities include two showers; a small conservatory sunroom; and dining room French doors leading out to a covered porch entertaining area.
Set on a generous 1,001 m² flat and fenced section, this 160sqm home also includes a freestanding 4-car double garage, and roomy flat backyard that could potentially accommodate a Grannyflat sleepout.
