Prepare to be captivated by the timeless elegance of 23 Harlston Road. Combining the best elements of a classic character villa and a 1920s bungalow, this mostly roughcast heritage gem stands as a lovely sanctuary. With beautiful original wooden flooring throughout, the home has been thoughtfully updated inside to provide some modern comfort while still honoring its historic soul—all while offering plenty of room to add further value over time. From the moment you step into the large, welcoming central hallway, you feel the home’s grand sense of space, emphasized by high ceilings that amplify the natural light. The interior layout features two stunning character fireplaces that stand as beautiful decorative features, grounding the home with a sense of history. Flowing from the main living spaces is an enclosed porch—the ultimate cozy corner to unwind with a book or enjoy your morning hot drink. Accommodation comprises three bedrooms, including a spectacular second bedroom elevated by a huge heritage bay window. The master bedroom serves as a true private retreat, featuring an ensuite complete with a relaxing bath. Superb indoor-outdoor flow defines the rear of the home, where elegant white French doors open out from two of the bedrooms directly onto a private patio and an expansive entertainment deck. It is the perfect stage for summer BBQs and evening drinks with friends. Practicality is well covered with off-street parking and a fully fenced gated section with plenty of grass and mature trees. Tucked away on a desirable Mount Albert street, you are just moments from premium local cafes, train and motorway links, and schooling. Feel welcome to call to arrange a viewing or to find out more. A timeless gem of this calibre is a rare find.
