Bridge? What bridge? Just before you decide to hit the map tab, let's address something. Yes. This is is a lovely large villa in Northcote Point. Yes. It is near the bridge. However - thanks to an extensive renovation - think insulation and hush glass - it's very silent inside. Nestled in Northcote Point, 18 Princes Street was built in 1881 and displays the typical charm of a villa from that era. High ceilings, bay windows, brick fireplace, to name but a few of the graceful features. This home has been loved by the current owners and that is evident as soon as you walk in. Here you will find four generous double bedrooms, two living spaces, and two beautiful bathrooms; one being the ensuite from the master bedroom. You won't find the draftiness of an old villa. The home has been thoroughly modernised yet has retained the elegant charm of yesteryear. The windows have hush glass and have been restored, there is a ducted heat pump system perfect for all year climate, insulation, plus the ambiance of two gas fireplaces. The 809m full section is fully fenced and the backyard is one where childhood memories are made. Perfect for entertaining, the kitchen and dining flow out to the lawn, where you'll find mature trees perfect for climbing! and space for children and pets to roam and play. Boasting plum, feijoa, apple and peach fruit trees. With a westerly aspect, this garden really enjoys the afternoon sun. Just a short drive to the city or Takapuna. The central location offers much; handy transport links including a mere 5 minute walk down to the ferry, a tad further onto the historic Northcote Tavern, theatre and great eateries. Our owners have relocated! So it's time for the next lucky family to move in and make this versatile villa their home.
