Delivering charm-filled character within, this four-bedroom villa is perfectly suited to family life and enjoys a peaceful position near the thriving heart of Merivale.

Constructed in the 1900s, there is no substitute for the traditional detailing that's displayed in homes of this era, with a classic bay window, timber finishes, lead lights and an elegant fire surround showcasing undeniable charm. While the home is entirely comfortable, buyers could look to add value and inject their own style by sympathetically modernising certain aspects of the interior.

A timber laden kitchen lends warmth to the home, and the interconnecting open plan dining and lounge area provide the focus for everyday living. An additional lounge provides families with a brilliant alternative and could be ideally arranged to accommodate teenage living.

Five heat pumps and a log burner provide supreme comfort year-round while a family bathroom is complemented by a separate laundry with another shower and toilet which adds further appeal.

French doors off the second living zone and master bedroom provide an effortless opening to the L-shaped decking which borders the fully fenced lawn and established garden to provide the perfect setting for children and pets. The inclusion of the pizza oven will tantalise those who have an appetite for alfresco entertaining, while a double garage provides a secure space for vehicles.

Purchasers who place importance on education will be drawn to the excellent schooling options, which include CBHS, CGHS, Heaton Normal Intermediate and St Albans Primary while a range of private schools are also in the vicinity. A short stroll leads you to the cafes, restaurants and bars that surround Merivale Mall, which ensures every amenity you could need is within easy reach. This family home represents an outstanding opportunity in a sought-after location. Property files: http:/www.propertyfiles.co.nz/5511019
