Grand villa - setting the standard for Whanganui

This Edwardian home of exceptional presence and beauty sets the standard for Whanganui riverside properties. Set in elevated grounds, the custodians over the past 112 years have not only maintained its unique Edwardian character, including exceptional pressed tin ceilings and ornate timberwork, but also balanced the need for twenty-first century living with sympathetic, quality modernisation.

Originally built in 1910 for a well known Whanganui family, this grand 226sqm (more or less) villa, boasts four bedrooms plus a spacious office and includes a large workshop, tandem garage, a double carport with a maintenance pit for the new owner's classic car and a separate garden potting shed ensuring there is space for any interests.

Features include a modern kitchen, wet floor bathroom and ensuite, and a lounge offering indoor-outdoor flow onto a north facing entertainers deck, which looks out onto the very private garden.

The buildings are set on 1,303sqm (more or less) of established landscaped gardens with a newly sealed drive. The entrance to this hidden gem is literally a stone's throw from the Whanganui River bank reserve and the awa with all the benefits that offers.

The home is very well maintained with new three water services installed to the boundary ensuring future-proofing if the time comes. A shared artesian well ensures all-round irrigation for the inground watering system that covers a large percentage of the gardens. The roof space and underfloor are well insulated to 2021 government Healthy Homes Standards.
