A century-old villa with a rich history. This single-storey character residence stands as one of the most imposing and beautiful homes on the street, offering a wonderful sense of sanctuary. Framed by an iconic return verandah, adorned with intricate heritage fretwork, the home immediately steals your heart. Blending the nostalgic charm of a bygone era with seamless indoor-outdoor flow, this verandah is far more than an entryway-it is a lifestyle statement waiting for its next chapter. It serves as a beautiful outdoor living room, perfect for sipping morning coffee while listening to native birdsong or hosting guests against a backdrop of rolling blue skies and pretty views.
Enjoying an elevated and remarkably private position via path access, the home exudes a grand ambience with outstanding sun and a lovely green outlook.
Character lovers will enjoy Art Nouveau fireplaces, leadlight windows, polished timber floorboards, and exquisite matai, totara and rimu woodwork throughout. High ceilings and versatile spaces create a light-filled, welcoming atmosphere. At its heart lies a charming gallery-style hallway featuring decorative fretwork and polished timber architraves, leading to expansive living and dining rooms.
