From the moment you open the white picket fence gate and step on to the wrap-around veranda, you will be utterly charmed by this century-old villa set amid private, sunny gardens.
The location is a winner here in a quiet neighbourhood with the Milton Street shops, bar and nearby cafe.
Those who appreciate high ceilings, original timber doors and stained-glass windows will be drawn to this circa 1910 home - and so will those who want walk-to-town convenience and an opportunity to add even more value to a lovely property.
The updated open plan living opens to the deck and garden, three bedrooms, two bathrooms (including ensuite), two toilets, log burner and heat pump. The 120sqm space is enhanced by the high ceilings.
A fully fenced 511sqm section, a garage with workshop space and three-car off-street parking, are among the many attractions for professionals, active retirees and families.
Morning coffee and evening barbecues are a joy in the serene back yard with birdsong and garden scents. From inside, most windows look out to trees, skyline and bush-clad hills.
While the original timber doors, skirting boards, sash windows and decorative cornices are faithfully intact, the house has been sympathetically opened, giving a very spacious living area which has French doors to deck and garden.
The house has wonderful street appeal, with a landmark Phoenix palm at the front gate.
While living is very comfortable, there's an opportunity for new owners to plan further updates after they move in and start to enjoy this welcoming home.
While the wide verandas on two sides and the front and rear gardens provide a choice of outdoor spaces, there's also a large raised garden area for your herbs and veges.
This is a lovely part of town, close enough for walking but with a restful "lazy days" feel. Take a Sunday morning walk to the Centre of New Zealand or a bike ride up the Maitai Valley.
