Property listing ID: 491228
Practically perfect in every way - this grand, classic villa in a fantastic central location is one every family dreams of owning. Properties rarely come onto the market in this much sought-after street that's known for its grand homes on large properties, walking distance to top schools, Newmarket and the train station. Typically, this one is secure and ultra-private in a fantastic garden surrounded by protected ancient trees towering over a tall hedge and electric gates. Beautiful, airy, renovated interiors, full of character - high studs, polished kauri floors, original fireplaces - open out through many doors to deep wraparound verandahs featuring glazing overhead. These step down to expansive, immaculate level lawns where children can play. With 2 generous living areas inside the house as well as tons more living outside in a self-contained coach house, there's heaps of room for extended family or guests, even those who work from home. An additional 2 good-sized bedrooms and another large bathroom in the coach house brings the count to 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. This extra space adds fantastic flexibility for families. It's the ideal set up with an easy connection between the informal living area and the heated pool, spa and terrace to the rear. Parents can be preparing a meal in the spacious French Country-style kitchen or relaxing in the adjacent sitting space keeping a watchful eye on children as they move between the 2 areas. Afternoon sun pours across the garden from the west, creating a wonderful place for private entertaining. Children can stroll to Diocesan or St Cuthberts Schools is just 3 minutes away and Kings Prep and Epsom Girls is also within walking distance. For a truly privileged city lifestyle, you couldn't beat this rare opportunity. But it won't last. Every man, woman and dog will want this one. So make haste.
