Rarely available, this substantial Mansfield Avenue property, occupies a blue-chip location on an expansive 1,536sqm parcel. A scale of land increasingly scarce to find as large holdings disappear with intensification. Opportunities of this calibre are becoming exceptionally limited. As the saying goes: "Buy property now and wait, don't wait to buy property!' They quite simply are not making more land.

Originally crafted in 1905, the residence reflects enduring quality, with construction enhanced by thoughtful modernisation to meet the expectations of contemporary living. Recognised in NZ House & Garden (2013) and featuring interiors by Peter Lloyd, the home showcases enduring materials including imported French cement foundations and hand-cut timber dwangs, underscoring its structural integrity and longevity. Original stained glass windows and easy to care for, curated grounds with Italian urns further enhance her beauty.

The home offers four bedrooms overlooking evergreen grounds, three bathrooms, including an upper-level bathroom finished with dark Italian tiling and a porcelain bath, alongside multiple living and dining zones designed for both family living and entertaining. The kitchen delivers a clean, modern country aesthetic with a waterfall-edge granite bench top and perfectly located bay window for all your garden herbs. Formal and informal living areas provide versatility, complemented by a dedicated office or sun-room. Practical features such as a mudroom, separate WC, large separate laundry and ample storage enhance everyday functionality.

Set within established, true north facing landscaped grounds, this property balances scale with usability. A tennis court, BBQ area and plenty of space to kick a ball, provide flexibility for recreation while preserving privacy, a combination increasingly difficult to secure on this scale.

You will also find a double garage, additional off-street parking, gas hot water, and gas fireplaces, ensuring comfort and efficiency.

Positioned within walking distance of Merivale's retail and dining precinct [its faster to walk than drive] and zoned for leading schools including Selwyn House, St Margaret's, Rangi Ruru, and St Andrew's, the location further reinforces long-term value, this parcel is a true investment for future generations.

Held by the same family for 35 years, this is a tightly held asset now offered to its next family or astute investor. With large landholdings in adjacent neighbourhoods continuing to diminish, this property represents not only a distinguished residence but a smart move.
