When the nostalgia of yesteryear blends so beautifully with the conveniences of modern living, something rather special happens. At 46 Franklin Street, quiet comfort, easy living and timeless character come together to create a home that feels welcoming from the moment you step through its delightfully arched entrance, framed by roses and twinkling lights. It's a charming introduction to what lies beyond.

Elevated above the city, the outlook from the sunroom and master bedroom is simply spectacular. Sweeping across the cityscape, from Opoho through to the St Clair coastline, the views are wonderful by day and take on an entirely different magic as the city lights begin to sparkle by night.

The home currently offers three bedrooms, a welcoming living room and a beautifully renovated kitchen that strikes just the right balance between old and new. Original timber cabinetry and those wonderfully quirky tip-out flour bins have been thoughtfully retained, bringing a lovely sense of nostalgia, while contemporary additions make this a practical and inviting space for everyday living.

Adding further flexibility is a generous adjoining room which currently serves as a fourth bedroom but could just as easily become a relaxed family lounge or somewhere to simply sit back and enjoy the view from the connected sunroom. It's a space that can evolve to suit whatever this next chapter of life might look like.

Outside, the gardens have all the charm of a cottage garden, complemented by established trees and generous lawn space, with plenty of room for children to play or a trampoline to take pride of place. Even the single garage has been given a little personality of its own, transformed into a relaxed outdoor entertaining space, complete with a bar leaner perfectly positioned to soak up those wonderful city views.

Beautiful period details, fitting of its 1920s heritage, sit comfortably alongside the practicalities of modern living, including extensive double glazing, a long run roof and refreshed exterior paintwork. Heating is taken care of with two heat pumps and a wood burner along with extensive wall insulation, ensure the warmth is kept inside. It's a home that has been thoughtfully cared for and is ready for its next owners to simply move in and enjoy.

With the CBD, University and Hospital all within easy reach, this is a home that offers so much more than just convenience. Full of character, warmth and unexpected little surprises, 46 Franklin Street is an inviting place to put down roots, whether you're starting out, growing your family or simply looking for somewhere that feels like home.
