Designed to impress in a dress circle location, character homes of this calibre are rarely offered for sale, and this is the first time this property is available on the open market. Steeped in history, this 240sqm (more-or-less) three double bedroom home is as showstopping now as it was when it was built in 1932, possessing a charm and allure that modern builds can't match.

Stunning street appeal with a stained-glass porch greets you at the curb and the double-height entrance with impressive staircase gives you a glimpse of how remarkable this home is. The corniced ceilings, stained glass windows and exquisite Rimu wooden panelling and architraves are in beautiful condition and create a warm and welcoming ambience.

The grandeur of this home is epitomised by the billiard room, with its size, scale and appeal. All rooms are sizable, including the living and dining rooms, reflecting a time when a sit-down meal was a daily ritual. The spacious and sunny kitchen offers scope with multiple layout options.

Spectacular sea views abound from the master bedroom, providing a stunning outlook over the city and to the sea. Large windows from all rooms provide a sensational vista far and wide.

Set on a full 885sqm (more-or-less) site, the large, low-maintenance garden is a delight, giving the kids plenty of room to run and play. Enjoy the convenience of the potting shed and large fully powered workshop to store the tools and engage in hobbies. You'll appreciate the additional basement area with generous storage room and painter's nook, plus a third toilet and bin cupboard. The single garage is complemented by driveway space for two cars.

Ridge Lane is renowned for its charm and is a sought-after inner-city location, close to many schools and a short stroll away from the popular Boys High School and Pukekura Park.
