3 Ryle Street, Freemans Bay, Auckland

Superb Cityside Family Sanctuary

Sold at Auction on 09th March.

This quintessential villa set in the heart of Freeman's Bay will immediately pull at the heart strings. A gorgeous character home with perfectly presented front gardens, it sits high on the ridge line of Ryle Street, flooding the section with light and providing the most spectacular sea and city views. Located moments from Ponsonby Road, Victoria Park and the inner city, urban living has never looked this good.

The home enjoys impressive proportions, apparent from the moment you step into the grand entrance hall with its ornate plaster work and lofty stud height. The soaring ceilings continue throughout the entire residence, complete with skylights to provide even more warmth and light.

Through double doors, which can be shut from the front of the house when entertaining, is the open plan kitchen, dining and living, offering several spaces to rest and relax, with multiple decks meaning you can bask in sunshine all day long.

The kitchen provides ample room for the whole family, with abundant storage space and an oversized island to perch at. A window opening out onto the deck frames the cityscape and SkyTower perfectly, and makes keeping an eye on the kids on the lawn and entertaining guests a breeze. The whole section is fully fenced for peace of mind and feels extremely private thanks to established hedging.

Three incredibly generous double bedrooms lead off the entrance hall. The master bedroom at the front of the home has fantastic views through bay windows, a walk in wardrobe and tidy ensuite. The family bathroom has plenty of storage space and a luxurious bath, whilst a second lounge makes the perfect media room.

Under the house is a lockable garage, storage and workshop space, and there are also two off street car parks. Perfectly balancing heritage charm with modern comfort, this home is immaculately presented yet with scope to update and add your own personal touches.
