On the market for the first time in 44 years, this gracious villa celebrates the very best in family living and all the elegance of yesteryear. It's a true hidden oasis, with the 784sqm property tucked well away from the street on well-connected Mozeley Ave. The two-level residence was originally crafted around 1910. It is beautifully proportioned and filled with exquisite classic detailing, which has been thoughtfully preserved over the decades. Soaring pressed steel ceilings, stained glass and polished timber floors feature in the incredibly spacious rooms, which can be opened up to the outdoor living and lush gardens in summer. The owners also seamlessly extended the home to provide more space and flow for family life, as well as the upstairs master retreat. Their commitment to authenticity is evident at every turn. From the entrance foyer, the wide entry hall offers three bedrooms that are serviced by the family bathroom. The well-lit study/library is a flexible room that could also be a fifth bedroom, while the impressive formal lounge is equally suited to casual relaxing as large dinner parties. The open-plan and more causal living, dining and kitchen space enjoys views of Mount Victoria and flows out to the deck and native garden. It's incredibly private out here, with sweeping lawns and space for a pool if the new owners so wish. Upstairs, the expansive master suite has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. This sought-after neighbourhood is just a few short steps from the Waitemata Golf Club, which is across the road at the top of the street. It's also within a pleasant stroll of the Devonport village and CBD ferry, in zone for excellent local schools and close to the area's coveted beaches.
