AUCTION BROUGHT FORWARD to Monday 13 November 3.00pm

This gorgeous 1910 villa has been the vendor's much loved family home for 27 years with many treasured memories made here. With wonderful street appeal, the picket fence and landscaped entrance with its fragrant lemon trees lead you to the front veranda where you can relax and soak up the morning sun while you enjoy your morning coffee. Set on a very generous, level 696sqm section, this light-filled home with white-washed kauri floors, has a Scandi interior feel that blends well with the many original villa features retained in the home including board and batten ceilings, lead lights, and stained glass doors. Three carpeted, double bedrooms open from the traditional central hallway, all with generous wardrobes and the main bedroom has a bay window and the original tiled fire still in place. A narrow set of stairs from the hallway leads up to the attic storage space and a double bedroom/study with a skylight and urban views of the city and Ngataringa Bay.

The charming living room has a seating alcove with decorative window grids and plantation shutters which the early morning sun filters through. Built-in bookshelves and a large gas fire make this the perfect cosy retreat. At the rear of the house, the kitchen /dining and second living space with comfortable seating is the hub of the home and sundrenched all year round. This opens to the deck and the magnificent garden area.

This stunning, sundrenched rear garden has been beautifully planted with fruit and flowering trees, lush tropical plants and a fantastic lawn, perfect for children and pets to play. There is a place for the boat already and plenty of room for a pool in the future. A substantial garden shed is all set up with workbenches and a freezer, perfect for the home handyperson. Raised gardens have abundant veges planted and a compost set up as well. You also have the bonus of an updated studio (with ensuite) opening to the garden. This has been used as an Air B&B at times and would make a great office, guest accommodation or teenage retreat.

There is so much potential still in the property for your future plans. The quiet location is brilliant and just an easy stroll into Devonport, with parks and excellent schools all nearby. If you are looking for your "forever home", 203 Victoria is ready and waiting for you. Make sure you get in touch soon.
