This beautiful 1920s Villa exudes the elegance and charm of a bygone era. Its nostalgic character and design is in every detail from the first moment you enter. This lovely villa is nestled on 1.9667 ha (approx 5 acres) of land, a renowned "lifestyle" location, amidst some of the most prestigious real estate in Auckland. This property should not be missed! The traditional wide hallway, with beautiful timber flooring, which runs throughout, welcomes you into this gorgeous family home, combining a clever balance of character with modern-day convenience. The beautiful high-stud, deep skirtings and architraves reflect the high-end workmanship rarely seen in a new build today. Sunlight floods through the windows in each and every living area, which, in turn, open to the surrounding lush landscape of gardens, paddocks (for beloved pets) and established fruit orchards.The exceptionally high stud, traditional weatherboards and leadlight features throughout this fabulous home, combined with modern renovations to create a luxurious combination of character and quality. From the stunning country kitchen with granite bench tops, the fully-tiled bathrooms, a modern log fire in the massive lounge for cosy winter nights, to the gas fire for entertaining in the sumptuous dining room, this much-loved home is the perfect place for families who want both privacy and a home to host family gatherings. The living rooms, the generous master with walk-in-wardrobe and ensuite bathroom, open out to the decking and entertaining area, which overlook the pretty gardens with formal hedging. Farther afield, a stream trickles through the paddocks, which are fully fenced, and the paddocks may accommodate a small flock of sheep. Additionally, there are two double bedrooms and a good-sized office, which could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom. The roomy tiled laundry area adjoins the massive four-car garage. A large barn with concrete floor can either be the perfect storage for keeping the boys' toys tucked away, or allows you to transform this area into a studio or second work-from-home space, free from the distractions of the home. This lovely home represents a lifestyle opportunity, only 10 minutes from Albany and all that has to offer, while affording access to the much-coveted Coatesville School zone.
