'Osneloc' House of timeless character. This Victorian Villa was built in 1898 for the daughter of missionaries Elizabeth and William Colenso, this home of historic significance remained in the family for 100 years and upgraded around 2007.

Homes with this much history, original character, warmth and versatility are not often available, and the decision to move on has not been an easy one for the current owners. They genuinely love this home and all that it offers, but with plans to relocate, the time has come to pass it on to its next chapter.

A true celebration of character, charm and timeless appeal. From the moment you arrive, the exterior gives you a glimpse of the treasures waiting inside.

Original features abound, including beautiful timber floors, high ceilings and open fireplaces in both the kitchen and living areas. The warmth and character of these spaces create a wonderfully inviting atmosphere, while French doors open from the home onto a deck and then flow seamlessly into the enclosed garden and courtyard, creating an enchanting setting for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying family life.

Some modern living has been thoughtfully incorporated without compromising the home's original charm. A family bathroom is conveniently positioned at the end of the hallway, while the main bedroom enjoys its own ensuite and an adjoining room. This versatile space could be used as a dressing room, nursery, study or additional sleeping area, with recessed doors providing flexibility when required.

For those working from home, the generous office is a real bonus, offering excellent built-in open storage. The laundry room is another standout, retaining its original features while providing additional workspace and storage options, the property also has plenty of storage space in the attic.

The fully fenced section provides both privacy and security. There is also ample off-street parking for two vehicles within the fenced area. Positioned on a corner site, the home is just minutes' walk from Otaki shops, library and Te Wānanga o Raukawa.
