91 Jervois Road, Herne Bay

Karen Spires' Website\n\nA rare chance to own a landmark home, this Baroque revival Edwardian brick terrace is a much-admired delight. Step past the iron grille entry to a surprisingly spacious interior, rich with detailing and steeped in history. Originally built as servant's quarters, Stichbury Terraces are now light and contemporary homes, with a superb location and sweeping harbour views. \nTwo living areas, two bedrooms, a landing study nook, basement utility room, rear vehicle access, carport and wine cellar are joined by a hidden bookcase-fronted powder room and gorgeous exposed brick kitchen. Step from the deep north-facing back porch to a sheltered, wisteria-draped ivy courtyard, or watch the world go by from the street-side balcony. Be entranced by the ribbon of lights on the bridge from the upper floor balcony or the sparkle of the harbour by day. Take the five-minute taxi ride to town or stroll down the road to cafes and shops. Original features include three tiled fireplaces, an Shacklock stove, stained glass skylight and warm matai floors while a sympathetic renovation makes this a history-lover's alternative to apartment living. Listed Heritage B and one of four, make this your city haven for years to come.\n\nCV: $950,000 Land: $445,000 Improvements: $505,000\n\nAuction: On Site 11am, Saturday 30 October 2010 (unless sold prior)\n\n\nEmail Karen if you would like to be sent:\n- Recent sales in Herne Bay\n- LIM\n- A comprehensive property report which includes Title, CV, LIM, etc. \n\nIf you would like to receive Karen's weekly email newsletter, Residential Views, please email her.
