Property listing ID: 792786
Own the villa with the most street appeal on iconic Richmond Road. Perched perfectly behind a white picket fence and adorned in classic charm, this gorgeous character cottage will be at the top of the list for those searching for the jewel in their investment property portfolio, first home buyers wanting a sweet central pad and anyone in need of a stylish apartment alternative. Its location is one of the city's best, with Ripe Deli cafe a few doors up, Ponsonby Road a 10 minute walk, Farro and Countdown supermarket just a stroll down the road, and the added bonus of a bus stop to take you into the city just outside the front door. The compact but clever footprint is filled with attractive period features including stained glass windows and a huge original working brick fireplace, but has also been nicely modernised. On the lower level is the living space with white wooden shutters and a heat pump for extra cosiness, along with the modern kitchen and a large family sized bathroom. At the rear is a generous, secure and private garden with lush established greenery and a paved area for summer cocktails. There is also a large walk-in under house storage space sporting plenty of room to store the bikes, garden tools and firewood for winter. Upstairs are the flexible sleeping quarters: the current owners have added removable sliding doors to split this large room into two, providing multiple options for a large master bedroom plus an office, nursery space or second bedroom for guests, both with built in double wardrobing - or keep the doors off for a spacious master with its own lounge area. A must view. Asking Price $1,295,000.
