Iconic and exceptional with added income

This exquisite grand dame is steeped in local history and positioned on a spectacular 1257sqm section. Built by W A Beecroft, completed in 1895 as a stable and depot for horse drawn buses, it was then owned by the renowned Nimon family for many years. Radiating serious heritage charm, the current owners have spent four years meticulously transforming the property into a luxurious, and incredibly special home that takes full advantage of its vast scale and unsurpassed character. The main residence is spread across three levels and provides multiple spaces in which to entertain, relax, work and play, beginning with the colossal central living room, sitting beneath a high vaulted ceiling and comes with a powerful Woodsman wood burner and large built in projector screen for ultimate movie nights in. Upstairs is a spacious mezzanine currently a work from home office and, next to this is the perfect kids play space. Adjoining is an immaculate guest accommodation wing, currently a very successful self-contained Airbnb that is being sold fully furnished so you can start earning extra income immediately. Boasting its own separate entrance, it encompasses two large bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom and spacious open plan living, kitchen and dining. The upper-level bedroom wing hosts 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and substantial linen closet space. Two further bedrooms downstairs include the enormous master, which would work equally well as a beautiful formal sitting room or library. Just imagine the dinner parties you will host in the large dining room, serviced from the generous country style kitchen anchored by its super-sized Smeg oven with gas hobs and a spacious scullery. Or take the celebrations out to the elongated covered al fresco dining space. There's easy access to an enormous end to end garage, workshop/storage rooms and dual carport. An admired local icon that presents so many possibilities, this is a home of prestige and grandeur in an unsurpassed location. AUCTION 9 April 2021 at 12pm 17 Napier Rd Havelock North
