This beautifully presented 1906 two-storey villa pairs classic character with a modern twist. With 10 foot stud height upstairs and large sash windows this home is light, airy and spacious. The front windows frame sweeping views across Kilbirnie to the mountains beyond, with the master bedroom also looking out to Evan's Bay. There is a foyer connecting the hallway to the front door, which opens onto a full width balcony, the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening wine.
With living rooms on both floors there is space for everyone to spread out, yet still come together. Working from home is a breeze with offices on both floors and ethernet ports throughout. At the heart of the home there is an open plan kitchen and dining. The kitchen has stainless steel bench tops, quality appliances and plenty of storage. Bifold doors open from the kitchen to the sheltered, sun drenched patio and landscaped gardens, so indoor-outdoor living is effortless.
