Move over Ponsonby and Grey Lynn — Avondale is on the rise, and prices are climbing fast in this rapidly gentrifying neighbourhood.

This fully fenced, private 1900s bay villa has been lovingly renovated without losing its character. Light-filled and full of charm, it's a true three-bedroom family home with the wow factor.

A wide central hallway connects the whole house, leading to three double bedrooms — including a master with its own sunroom — and a well-defined dining and lounge area. The open-plan lounge, warmed by a fireplace and heat pad, is made for cosy winter evenings, all set against beautifully polished 100-year-old wooden floors.

The kitchen and fully tiled bathroom (with laundry) have been freshly modernised, while a large private deck offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow into a generous garden — perfect for kids and pets. Secure off-street parking fits cars or a boat.

Location:

• 7–11 minutes' drive to the CBD
• 5 minutes' walk to the train station
• Shared bike path linking to city centre networks
• Local picture theatre, cafés, shops, schools and mall all nearby

A much-loved, affordable home ready for its next chapter.
