10 Gibraltar Crescent, Parnell, Auckland

English rose

This beautifully presented character home is a perfect blend of classic Victorian features and modern day living coupled with good taste and practicality. From the moment you step inside you capture the essence of this gorgeous property.
The heart of the home has to be the fabulous open plan living which is light and bright conjuring up an almost "English cottage garden" feel. The connection to the outdoor living is superb and those spaces offer you the very best for multiple private entertaining options. The country style kitchen is spacious with a large pantry and excellent counter top spaces plus two mounted wall ovens. Exposed cathedralesque beams add a dynamic design element but also allow for natural light to envelope this fabulous casual space.
A large double bedroom is on the main floor resplendent with an original cast iron fireplace with glazed ceramic tiles and a separate lounge with a gas fire is the perfect room to relax and unwind. Completing the main floor is a full laundry with storage plus a shower with separate cloakroom.
Upstairs are a further two double bedrooms plus a full family bathroom. From the large master bedroom there are some lovely views of lower Domain and the CBD.
The mix of old and new is evident throughout. From the wainscotting in the hallway to the kauri and slate floors a real treat of design features blend so well together to create a really special ambience.
Last but not least is the off-street parking for up to three cars. A real plus for Central Parnell and an extremely rare find. Double Grammar zoning and so close to Parnell Train Station, the Village and the CBD with a short drive to the motorway onramps.
Offering the very best that city fringe living has to offer, this English rose is hard to fault and will capture your heart.
