19 Chamberlain Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland

Grand in every way

Grand in scale, grand in living, this sublime and exquisitely renovated five bedroom villa has been completely transformed into a masterpiece that effortlessly blends traditional and contemporary.

Elevated proudly on the sunny side of the street, the current owners have taken every step to maximise the dual level home's abundant charm and style.

Upon entry are two large double bedrooms, both with substantial wardrobing, along with the spectacular master, an oasis of calm with walk in wardrobe and tiled en suite. A large study and family bathroom complete with European fixtures and a free-standing cast-iron bath can also be found here.

At the rear overlooking the sun-soaked west-facing and expansive terraced backyard is the open plan dining space and the piece de resistance: a drop-dead gorgeous, completely bespoke smart-wired kitchen that looks straight from the pages of an international design magazine. Its list of attributes would make even the fussiest Michelin star chef swoon, including handpicked lighting from Spain, large Falcon double oven and made to measure kitchen basin, wine fridge and massive honed granite benchtop.

This flows out to a deck with outdoor gas fire to sit and soak up the incredible urban vista out to the Waitakere Ranges year round. A separate lounge or media room is perfect for movie nights.

Downstairs is a vast teen or guest haven, with its giant second lounge, full sized laundry, large bathroom, two large double bedrooms, and a conservatory that opens onto a spacious deck overlooking the fully fenced and established garden with salt water container swimming pool.

There is even space under the house for storage or the potential to dig out for a garage if required but the current owners never felt the need due to the house offering so much in the way of living. With Grey Lynn Park at the end of the street and so close to Ponsonby, this is the chance to get your hands on this much loved home and start living the dream.
