Welcome to 4 Granville Terrace, positioned in the sought-after suburb of Belleknowes.
This immaculate 1890s villa has been restored, rebuilt and thoughtfully reimagined into a modern Scandinavian-inspired home, seamlessly blending timeless character with contemporary performance.
Designed by Passive House Architect, Rafe Maclean and built by Stevenson and Williams Builders, every detail has been carefully considered with thermal efficiency, comfort and craftsmanship at the forefront. The result is a warm, dry, high-performing home that delivers both beauty and reliability.
From the street, the home’s classic charm is immediately apparent. A covered veranda offers a welcoming arrival, with ramp access to the front door providing easy entry for all mobility levels. Inside, the foyer sets the tone with warm hue toned walls and timber floors, creating an inviting first impression. To the left, a practical coat storage area and guest toilet add everyday functionality. Throughout the home, bespoke joinery, cabinetry, and vanities are crafted from beautiful macrocarpa timber, enhancing the natural, refined aesthetic.
The home is bathed in natural light, with large picture windows framing garden outlooks along with sweeping city, harbour and ocean views captured from multiple vantage points.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Featuring stunning granite bench-top sourced from India, quality Fisher & Paykel appliances and high-performance double-glazed argon-filled joinery, this space combines style with substance. Duette honeycomb blinds further enhance the home’s thermal performance, ensuring year-round comfort.
Upstairs, a beautifully appointed lounge with built-in cabinetry and a study desk opens onto a front deck, the perfect place to enjoy box-seat views across the city and harbour. A warm, natural colour palette flows throughout the home, creating calming, restful spaces.
Downstairs, three generous double bedrooms provide excellent accommodation. The master suite is a true retreat, complete with a walk-through robe featuring bespoke macrocarpa cabinetry and a beautifully tiled ensuite with soft, milky tones and underfloor heating.
The remaining two guest bedrooms are well-sized and offer the same high-quality bespoke storage. A stylish family bathroom, positioned nearby, features a large shower, toilet and bespoke macrocarpa vanity. Quality loop-pile carpet completes the lower level.
A separate laundry offers excellent built-in storage and houses the Stiebel Eltron ventilation system. This advanced system removes moist air from the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry and delivers fresh microfiltered air to the living rooms and bedrooms. With 15 vents in total, along with quality Terra Lana wool insulation and soundproofing between levels, the home’s performance is exceptional.
Additional features include three Daikin heat pumps (6.2kW), polished timber floors and LED lighting throughout, along with fibre internet and a water filtration system. Practicality is enhanced with under-house storage and two lockable storage sheds/lockers, while an off-street park adds everyday convenience. Completing the offering is a beautifully repainted exterior, ensuring the home is as impressive from the outside as it is within.
The garden has been thoughtfully designed for easy care, offering a low-maintenance section with established trees that create a wonderful sense of privacy and a peaceful, woodland-like calm to the rear of the property. Productive vegetable gardens add to the appeal, providing a lovely balance of practicality and tranquillity, a private, green retreat to enjoy year-round.
Perfectly positioned just up the road from Belleknowes Golf Club and close to green spaces, popular schools and local amenities, this is a home that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.
This is a property with a rare sense of balance, heritage character, modern performance, and thoughtful design, all coming together to create something truly special. Welcome home to 4 Granville Terrace!
