FAMILY TREASURE TROVE
If you are on the look for a character family home oozing charm and charisma, it doesn’t get much better than this gorgeous 1910s bay Villa sitting pretty on a whopping 784m2. Situated in popular St Albans Avenue, a quality tree lined avenue in sought after Mt Eden and backing onto a top Primary and Intermediate School, the position here is outstanding.
Be greeted by an elegant electric gate and return veranda which welcomes you into a home of timeless character and old-world charm. The exquisite lead light glass, high stud ceilings with gorgeous plaster roses and detailed fretwork, will captivate even the most avid Villa lover.
Offering 3 double bedrooms, the master with window seat and French doors opening out to the veranda and a romantic cottage garden. A grand north facing formal living also has its own door adjoining the veranda and overlooks the pretty patio with its quaint brickwork and leafy garden.
The open plan kitchen/dining and study nook flows through French doors onto an elevated deck enjoying views and overlooks your generous lawn – easy to keep an eye on the children. Kids can kick a ball out back, bounce on the trampoline or play in the treehouse which is included in the chattels. The convenience of sending your children off to school through the back gate is something you’ll appreciate for years to come. Down under is a hidden goldmine! Ideal workshop/storage area or investigate the potential for further development? A serious opportunity to add value here!
Features gas mains, ducted central heating/air conditioning, gas infinity hot water, gas fire, plenty of off-street parking plus a good size garage with automatic door.
Zoned Balmoral School, MAGS & AGGS. The location and land size here are key. Plus top schooling and easy access to the city, Eden Park, and a smorgasbord of eateries on Dominion Rd. This fine character home is truly a family treasure.
