35 Wanganui Avenue, Herne Bay, Auckland

PRICED - $2,775,000

A complete renovation has transformed this classic single bay villa into a chic living space with multiple features. In the private, northwest facing rear garden, an inground swimming pool with 'toddler shelf' and alfresco dining has perfect connectivity to the open plan living areas. Invite friends to enjoy the cool breezes and carefree afternoons of summer or in winter, gather around the warmth of the gas fire in the lounge.

As fashionable as Jervois Road, just metres away, the fresh interior colour palette, copper accents, natural wood, exquisite tiles and a selection of on trend light fixtures mix effortlessly with original lead light door and ceiling mouldings. The effect is a home that feels instantly timeless yet with a desirable modern personality.

In the front bay of the house, the master bedroom is complete with window seating, walk-in wardrobe and impeccably tiled ensuite. Three additional bedrooms (alternatively use the fourth as a second living space) share a large bathroom. Renovated by the vendors for themselves, the attention to detail is appreciated throughout. From the stylish dining space off the faultless designer kitchen to the perfect white picket fence, this is a Ponsonby family home with a difference.
