A handsome icon of Ponsonby standing tall and proud, catching the eye of everyone who passes by… This gracious Victorian villa (approx. 220m2) is a journey of elegance and style; from the moment you enter the wide veranda, a sense of surprise and invitation has been created – the jewel-like brilliance of the opulent living space with its fireplace and mantle, decorative ornate ceilings and polished floors harks back to another era. The welcome continues through to the warm hues of the separate dining with another fireplace and a stylish modern kitchen. There is also a separate formal lounge, double bedroom and luxe bathroom. Continue upstairs and the second level enjoys a sunny west-facing aspect with afternoon sun streaming in, wide views out to the Waitakeres and a peep of the upper harbour and offers three sumptuous bedrooms each a rich tapestry of colour and each with their own ensuites. Step out to the courtyard the perfect spot for an aperitif or al fresco entertaining and out to the lush level backyard enjoying the pure privacy of the hedged English style garden, fish pond, mature plantings and features an age-old apple-tree. There is plenty of clever storage throughout and off-street parking and all this just a short stroll from the vibe of Ponsonby’s award-winning restaurants, cafes and boutiques completes this magnificent package. This is a property you won't want to miss, as vendors are downsizing and committed to selling. Contact us for the Weekday and Weekend Set Viewing Times. Deadline sale: Closes on Thursday 10 April 2025 at 2:00PM (unless sold prior)
