Brimming with character and bathed in all-day sun, this north-facing villa delivers space, soul, and serious potential in a tightly held, tree-lined street. On the market for the first time in 36 years, opportunities like this are rare. Inside, soaring ceilings, polished timber floors, and beautiful leadlight windows set the tone. Three bedrooms (currently configured as two bedrooms and two living areas), a family bathroom, and a flexible dining zone flow through to an open-plan kitchen and living space. French doors open to a sun-soaked deck - effortless indoor-outdoor living, just as it should be. The backyard is the hero. Flat, private, and framed by established trees and lush gardens, it's made for entertaining, kids, pets, or simply stretching out in the sun. Comfortable as is, with genuine scope to enhance and add value over time, this is a home you can move into now and transform when ready. The bones are beautiful. The potential is real. A double lock-up garage, generous under-house storage, and ample off-street parking complete the picture. Location? It doesn't get much better. Walk to trains and buses, Gribblehirst Park, Eden Park, Westfield St Lukes, and a vibrant café scene. Zoned for AGGS, MAGS, Kowhai Intermediate, Balmoral Intermediate, and Balmoral School. Cherished for over three decades. Ready for its next chapter. Will it be yours? Agents bring your buyers, conjunctionals welcome.
