This gorgeous 1912 home, located close to Virginia Lake and the city centre, is full of character and charm from the moment you step onto the front porch. Welcome your guests through the beautiful timber front door into a lovely, wide entrance complete with timber details.

At the front of the home are five bedrooms, all with good-sized windows that allow plenty of natural light to stream in and ample space for family living or home offices. The master bedroom still features the original fireplace with stunning tile work, creating a standout feature in the room. With a high stud throughout, this home feels light, airy and generous in its proportions. Moving down the hallway, we’ll find the open-plan dining room featuring a gas fire and pendant light. This space is a dream for entertaining, with French doors leading out to a lovely private deck (a wonderful spot to enjoy in the warmer months). The living room is also generously sized, with a gas heater to keep you cosy and retaining its original fireplace, adding further character. Towards the end of the home is the well-equipped family bathroom, complete with a gorgeous feature window incorporating leadlight kowhai flowers, a lovely touch that connects the space to the garden outside. The kitchen and family dining area offer a wonderful space to unwind, with window seats perfect for enjoying a cup of tea while looking out over the private back garden. For those who love to entertain, it’s an ideal setup for cooking up a storm while enjoying a glass of wine and conversation with friends.

Outside, we find a lovely timber garage with an automatic door opener for convenience, along with extra width, making it ideal for storage. There is also a covered carport. With raised garden beds, a garden shed, established trees and enough lawn for a game of cricket, this home is awaiting its next family.
