The gracious villa set back from the street frontage, has all of its character features intact. Including original fireplaces, native timber floors, and features from the era. From the leafy front garden, an elevated veranda leads you through to a high stud hallway. This wide central passage takes you past spacious rooms to a much enjoyed veranda at the rear. Practically a room in itself, this original veranda enjoys a sunny northerly aspect overlooking Ngataringa Bay and Takapuna. Accommodation consists of five bedrooms, two on the upper level and three on the lower, each level having its own bathroom. A formal sitting room and an open plan kitchen enjoying access onto the veranda. At the rear of the villa, on a gently sloping north facing site is the other unique opportunity. A freehold 693sqm of land on its own title with water, power and telephone services already connected. Access is already in place with a new driveway. Land is seldom available in this historic suburb, so this sunny north facing site is a rare opportunity to create a home of your own design. Located in the heart of Stanley Bay enjoying all that this friendly family community can offer. Close to Stanley Bay Primary, parks, and the Stanley Bay commuter ferry to the Auckland CBD. Beat the Bridge and enjoy all the benefits of living in Auckland's historic harbourside village. We welcome you through our open homes, but if these times are not convenient, please call us to make an appointment to view.
