THIS PROPERTY IS NOW SOLD Rich with heritage, this tastefully refurbished and renovated villa is full of character that warms the soul, and offers comfortable family living spaces inside and out. You will fall in love with all the traditional villa features including exterior fret-work, high stud board & baton ceilings, lead lights, sash windows, matai floorboards, kauri doors, and an original coal range still in place. The two living spaces, separated by the modern galley style kitchen, allows room for growing families. Step from the back living area onto a large deck area with plenty of space to relax and unwind with friends and family while you watch over the kids playing in the large landscaped and fully fenced backyard. With two flat grass lawns and a separate sun deck, these retained spaces are flanked by a vegetable garden and mini orchard with fruiting citrus and fejoia trees. The enjoyable benefits of being elevated is only emphasised by the fantastic sun and expansive outlook taking in both sea and city views. The location is something quite special. On your return home you can hang up your keys and forget the car as everything is literally at your doorstep. From schools, daycares and parks, to restaurants, shops and a cafe scene where you are spoilt for choice - it's all right here in bustling Birkenhead. So close to the CBD you can enjoy just a 12 minute off peak drive into the City or you have the convenience of excellent public transport links, including the Birkenhead bus or ferry.
