Presenting the ultimate blend of character cool in the most enjoyable part of town, this immaculate heritage villa delivers everything urban residents require for the ultimate ease of lifestyle. Two bedrooms, plus a study, three bathrooms and an internally accessible garage with a workshop, provide the perfect lock-up-and-leave residence, immaculately presented and steeped in status.

Occupying an elevated position boasting verandas east and west, ornate exterior details create a lasting impression from the street, while herringbone feature flooring, elegant archways and soaring high-stud ceilings hold timeless appeal.

Airy, open living on the principal level spells effortless entertaining for family and friends, with a capacious kitchen boasting plenty of bench space and a granite breakfast bar, supplemented by sunny sash windows and a beautiful butler's pantry. Punctuated by bespoke chandeliers, the relaxed dining and living areas feature an easy flow towards the west-facing veranda - an idyllic spot to enjoy summer evenings and entertaining alfresco. Overlooking raised garden beds and a gently sloping backyard, avocado trees and easy-care plantings are a feature of the low-maintenance landscaping here, with plenty of room for the green thumb to inject their own flair.

Two soothing bedrooms boast veranda access and plush carpet underfoot, with the master gaining access to its own sumptuous ensuite complete with a chic monochrome colour palette, claw foot bathtub and a large rainforest shower. Downstairs, discover idyllic guest quarters, currently configured as a study, gymnasium and laundry with bonus living/media room offering flexibility and privacy for those with guests and extended family to stay.

Perfectly positioned just metres from entry to Auckland's Foreshore Heritage Walk, upscale cafes, retail and entertainment are in abundance throughout this City Harbour suburb - widely recognised as one of the best positions to enjoy sea views and urban spoils.
