Totally timeless and charming as they come. On the market for the first time in 43 years, this hundred year old square-front villa with two off-street parks at the Jervois end of John St is your chance to live the Ponsonby dream. Original floorboards, soaring panelled ceilings and sash windows keep the character front and centre in this lovingly maintained home, with so much scope to make it your own - and sitting on a 410sqm site ensures plenty of potential. The rear bedroom has French doors to the deck, and another features a built-in mezzanine storage bunk and ladder, irresistible to kids of all ages. Gas central heating keeps the home warm in winter, but with summer coming you'll be spending more time worrying about what to pop on the barbie while hosting gatherings in the garden. Bay windows at the rear enclose a dining space open to the kitchen fitted with wooden cabinetry further enhancing the charm of this classic liveable do-up. And don't worry about storage, the attic accessed by a pull-down ladder takes care of that. The sense of tranquility continues in the large back garden, all set to bloom in cottage splendour as the weather warms up. A vegetable patch at the far end and established trees complete the picture. Just a short walk to the bustling Jervois Rd and Ponsonby Rd cafe and restaurant scene and super central to the city and motorways, this newly re-roofed home is positioned amongst a close-knit community, and in zone for Ponsonby Primary and Intermediate. It's all here waiting for you this summer!
