Held and loved by the same owners for 29 years, this gorgeous character villa reflects an unwavering commitment to care, maintenance and attention to detail. Behind its classic façade is a warm and welcoming home where the hard work has already been done. Beautifully maintained throughout, it offers three double bedrooms, a separate living room, a combined kitchen and dining area, two working fireplaces, a renovated bathroom and laundry, and excellent under-house storage. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the character and charm of an older villa without inheriting a long list of deferred maintenance. It is an ideal next step for downsizers who aren't ready to compromise on space or outdoor living, or for a young family who has always dreamed of owning a villa but wants a home they can simply move into and enjoy. The real highlight is out the back. Private, fully fenced and north-facing, the garden is sunny, peaceful and perfectly suited to children, entertaining or unwinding on the deck and paved courtyard. The location only adds to the appeal. Walk to Morningside or Kingsland Train Stations, catch the bus from around the corner, or enjoy the cafés, restaurants and energy of Kingsland and nearby Eden Park. With the City Rail Link opening in September, access to the city is about to become even easier. Zoned for Mt Albert School, Edendale School, Kowhai Intermediate and Mt Albert Grammar School. Homes are rarely held for 29 years without good reason. Come and see the care that has gone into this one-and imagine making its next chapter your own. Proudly marketed by Abbey + Richard. Private viewings and agent conjunctionals welcome. If you need to sell or obtain finance prior to making an offer give us a call to discuss.
