Arriving at the electric gates of this stylish Taupaki 120sqm Villa set on 1700m2 of park-like grounds will have you jumping out of the car with excitement. There is a wow factor here, with the Villa painted in traditional colours yet a pop of mod at the front door. Pretty gardens frame the entrance of the home and once inside the beautiful dark stained kauri flooring and retained villa charms will delight, the stud is spectacular as is the layout of the house. There are spacious living and dining areas with a large Kent-style fireplace, and plenty of high sash windows letting in natural sunlight. The separate chef's kitchen is showcased with gas cooking, AGB bench-tops, stainless appliances and Blum cabinetry. Large paned windows slide open to allow you a pretty view while cooking up a storm. Off the wide central hallway are three bedrooms which are roomy and spacious, all have french doors to the veranda and beautifully appointed for sunlight and warmth; and the hall leads to a family bathroom, which is simply stunning and utility area with built in cupboards. Outside, the wonderful wrap around covered veranda lets you enjoy the great outdoors, any time of the year and is wonderfully enhanced with traditional lattice features. The nor/eastern side has space for dining and lounging, overlooking the flat green lawn providing you with a peaceful place to enjoy your preferred tipple after a long day in the city. The western verandah overlooks a paved area with an outdoor fireplace and European water fountain. The addition of a large 93m2 garage with many extras that can provide a multitude of uses in addition to housing vehicles. Currently, this is a second living space that is easily converted to a work from home office with french doors opening to the flat lawn beyond. As a location, Taupaki provides an idyllic haven away from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet handy enough to the NorWest Shopping centre and motorways, with proximity to the CBD of around 30 minutes drive. Excellent schools are also nearby, as are many stores, cafes, restaurants, and vineyards in the surrounding Kumeu & Waimauku countryside. This villa oozes character, style and charm, and is fully fenced. When combined with the slick city-style of Ponsonby, you won't be able to resist this beauty.
