Occupying an impressive elevated position, this commanding dual level home is equal parts grand character dame and functional family residence.

Boasting four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an internally accessible two-car garage, timeless heritage features contrast flawlessly against modern conveniences to offer the ultimate "Avenues" abode.

Delivering immediate street appeal; ornate balustrades, roof-top finials and beautiful fretwork set the scene. While inside, honey-toned timber flooring, elegant gables and lofty high-stud ceilings create an air of relaxed refinement.

Follow stained-glass detailing down the hallway to the light-filled kitchen, living and dining space, punctuated by restored antique globe pendants lights, sash windows and a canted bay.

The entertainer will relish a convivial kitchen with a view over the lush green lawn, while a seamless flow from dining to living - complete with gas fireplace and luminous skylight - to covered alfresco offer ample opportunity for enjoyment.

Outdoor tiling takes you from the covered terrace to the spa bath and level lawn where gardeners take pleasure from easy-care plantings and extra space to add their touch.

Designed to maximise outlook and sunlight, a capacious master suite is sweetened by the ensuite bathroom and walk-in-wardrobe, while two more bedrooms flanked in shuttered window coverings sit pretty on the first floor.

Downstairs, a fourth bedroom, studio or workspace provides flexible options or a separate guest wing, serviced by the laundry and a third bathroom, while outside, there's additional off-street parking for another two vehicles.

Phenomenally positioned mid-way between Jervois Road's delightful eateries, excitement on Ponsonby and outdoor pursuits at Coxs Bay, this home is a rare-to-market chance to secure a foothold in one of the country's most coveted communities.
