The perfect antidote to modern life, this immaculately presented traditional villa is handsome and elevated, providing a peaceful family oasis in a prime central location.

The home represents what all villa owners love, combining elegant original features including stained glass accents, fireplaces and cornices with incredible indoor to outdoor living, all-day sun and contemporary comforts.

Discover an entertainer's dream at the rear where a plethora of glazing opens at every opportunity to the outdoors. The kitchen and lounge spill out to a completely covered all-season outdoor living deck with speakers that sync with the indoor dining to create a seamless flow, while a separate secondary lounge is the perfect relaxation space surrounded by sliding windows and extending onto wraparound decking and the back yard.

The property really comes into its own in the established garden, a true sanctuary full of fruit trees, mature plantings and a luscious lawn with centrepiece plum tree. The multiple outdoor living continues with an all-weather barbecue area connected through a handy sliding window to the well-appointed kitchen. Follow the sun to the front verandah with its elevated vista while the children enjoy the persimmon tree and front lawn.

Three bedrooms include the primary with ensuite bathroom and double wardrobes, alongside the large, tiled family bathroom.

Warm and dry with a heat pump/air con, there is also plenty of storage and a carpeted garage, and you will love the freshly sanded and stained Matai flooring complemented by lush, brand new loop pile carpet in the bedrooms.

The current owners have cherished their time here and the close proximity to good local schools, Grey Lynn Park and Ponsonby Road. With space for your growing family and ready for your personal additions, this is a quiet and gorgeous retreat from busy everyday life.
