Captivating Inner City Character Home!

1920s character and contemporary comforts combine beautifully in this outstanding villa, overlooking the Cathedral and with its own city pathway link. Walk to city heart shopping, schools and cafes. This home appeals like few others with its high ceilings, native timbers and bay window but with extensive renovation and refurbishment inside and out to create attractive, modern living. Light-filled, with an outlook to greenery, city and eastern hillsides the house is delightfully tucked below the road frontage in private, professionally landscaped grounds with the bonus of a park reserve next door, reached from the garden gate. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms provide spaces for the family on two-levels and privacy for guests and, with separate downstairs access, potential for a B&B. Little expense has been spared in creating a home that retains its graceful, historical features while presenting 21st century open-plan living, double glazing to all new windows and a zoned, programmable heating system. The home captivates with its high ceilings, rimu polished floors, wooden doors and architraves, sash windows and deep skirting boards. The house has two new bathrooms and an up-to-date kitchen. New windows installed in kitchen and dining areas are double-glazed and LED lighting is recessed in the remarkable timber ceilings. What's not obvious in the renovations is the structural steel, new plumbing, wiring and insulation under floors and in the ceiling. This modern revision of a fine century-old home now also has a heat transfer system and a permitted wood burner to warm the whole living area. The beautiful master bedroom, bathed in morning sunshine and with extensive custom-built wardrobe, boasts a stylish new ensuite bathroom. Outdoor living is superb with three schist stone outdoor terraces plus a separate garden area awaiting your choice of uses.
