Character villa, modern specification, and easy walking access to the city from a sought after Kelburn address.

A much-loved family home, this turn of the twentieth century villa has been extensively renovated and modernised, the home's character preserved while light filled additions bring it into the rhythms of contemporary family living. Pressed tin ceilings, high studs and original detailing speak to the home's provenance.

The principal kitchen, dining and living area opens through French bi-fold doors to a private, sheltered courtyard that captures the afternoon sun, creating an easy flow between interior and garden. A second living room, anchored by an open Jetmaster fire, offers a more formal setting with views across the harbour, city and out to the South Coast. Light, proportion and warmth define each space.

Five bedrooms are arranged across the home, with two of the three lower bedrooms opening directly onto a substantial deck and a generous section beyond. Two bathrooms and a separate laundry complete the practical considerations. Sheltered from the prevailing wind and quietly held above the city, the home is a haven in every sense.

Central Terrace sits among Kelburn's most coveted addresses. The Cable Car and a network of public pathways place the central city within an easy walk, while Kelburn Village's shops, cafés and school are only moments away. The section extends down to Kelburn Parade, presenting further potential for those with an eye to the future.

A character residence of this calibre, in a setting of this standing, rewards considered inspection.
