This home presents a by-gone era that holds a piece of Auckland heritage at its front door and invites the world to imagine what life may have been like back in 1890. Standing tall and elegant this divine two level villa is simply a magical find. Keeping the heritage appearance from the front with the deep porch and gentle filigree is where intrigue begins to grow. The gorgeous staircase, long wide hallway, stunning leadlight windows and 4 spacious bedrooms of yesteryear have all been saved. The expansive dining and living areas with cosy gas fire, coupled with entertainers kitchen are the central heart of the home which flows beautifully to the private sunny courtyard that will never separate you and your guests. A secluded back garden with a studio, teenage retreat or workspace and twin garages all add to the convenience of living here. Upstairs the master suite invites you to relax, unwind and enjoy evening sunsets on the balcony. Modernised ensuite, dressing area and over generous storage complete the haven. The second bedroom on this level also has an ensuite and faces east for the morning sun. The quality light fittings, central heating, burglar alarm all add to the ability of a new owner being able to move in and enjoy living here from day one. Enviable School Zones Auckland Grammar, Auckland Girls and Mt Albert Grammar, Kowhai and Mt Eden Normal along with being only minutes from the city does mean you really can have it all!
