You'd be forgiven for thinking the offerings of this villa were like any other early 1900's home, with its sweet street-front visage of stained-glass windows, ornamental awning detailing and the white picket fence; but step inside and discover the transformative effects of exquisite renovations and restorative touches and your appreciation for this singular home will skyrocket! Finding a mindful balance between polished, character beauty and streamlined function, striking renovations provide for the complexities of modern family living, including fabulous indoor/outdoor entertaining and light-infused spaces to breathe with luxury modern-day innovations. Four large bedrooms accommodate, including the master which offers sanctuary with its systematic walk-in wardrobe guiding you to a deluxe ensuite. There is a dedicated study/office and a gorgeous family bathroom to assist. The kitchen is furnished with stone counters, accented tapware, stainless appliances and is readied for turning up the heat come any occasion. In addition to the separate lounge, an open-plan living/dining flows out to the cool, sun-happy patio; the ultimate and private outdoor setup designed for the best of memorable entertaining. Not only are kids taken care of within the fully fenced periphery, the custom-built mancave is a place of escape for some responsible fun, and the bubbling spa pool offers a sure way to relax. You'll have an easy 1 minute walk to Gribblehirst Park, and close proximity to stores, Mt Eden's edgy bars and cafes, bus routes, Kingsland along with Morningside's precinct and train station. It's a short drive to Westfield St Lukes and motorway directing you to the business and cultural diversity of downtown Auckland. Educational zoning includes Balmoral School, Edendale School, Mt Albert Grammar and Auckland Girls Grammar. We know people will be queuing to view, so we encourage hasty action.
