Sitting elevated above the flat 950sqm landscaped section this early 1900s villa has an interrupted street presence with all services undergrounded.
The elevated property’s 1.8 metre bluestone fence and Waiuku Wooden gates make the property a private, secure oasis.
This home is beautifully refined and meticulously maintained. This exceptional family residence effortlessly blends timeless character with all the modern upgrades. The brand new architecturally designed kitchen includes Meile appliances, a Schweigen rangehood with external motor and a scullery/laundry and walk-in storage cupboard. With upgraded bathrooms, plumbing, electrical, air-conditioning and lighting - every detail has been thoughtfully executed for contemporary living.
Original height batten ceilings enhance the sense of space and elegance, while classic villa features integrate effortlessly with modern design - creating a home of enduring style and substance.
The house features five bedrooms including an oversize master bedroom with ensuite and walk in wardrobe. One of two guest downstairs bedrooms currently operates as a home office with its own separate entrance. The two upstairs bedrooms, full bathroom, lounge area and huge attic storage room are part of an upstairs development that preserved the original roofline to maintain the character of the home.
The ground floor also features a formal lounge with original tiled fireplace and a bathroom with a clawfoot bath. The solid kauri floors throughout the ground floor link to an open plan kitchen/dining/informal lounge area. This family area faces directly north and flows out to the north and west onto a large, elevated deck with an inset 65,000 litre solar heated swimming pool.
The beautifully landscaped section features an organic fruit tree orchard, raised blue stone organic garden beds and extensive free draining black sand lawns. The section also boasts space to park a trailer, boat or three cars off-street. This parking is in addition to that offered in the separate double car garage with attached workshop.
Many of the property’s upgrades are not immediately obvious such as the fact the property has been taken off soak hole drainage and is now connected directly to the Council stormwater system, the re-piling of the house to support its elevated aspect, copper guttering, the solid copper outdoor lights and the extensive solar water heating system that extends the swimming season by at least two months every year.
Just moments from Newmarket, the CBD and key transport links, this is a rare opportunity to secure a premium family home located in one of Auckland's most tightly held and highly sought after private and public school districts including St Cuthbert's College, Diocesan School for Girls and Auckland and Epsom Girls Grammar and AGS - making it an outstanding choice for families who value education, convenience and long-term.
This is not your average villa; this home has been meticulously maintained, modernised and upgraded. This is truly an opportunity not to be missed.
