Proudly positioned and full of heart and soul this beautiful character home is an excellent representation of the Arts & Crafts movement from the early 1920s. The residence has been meticulously maintained to the original standard of the era but also sympathetically enhanced with modern features that add warmth and convenience including full insulation.

Step inside the welcoming foyer and fall in love with the wood panelling, rimu floors and lead lighting throughout (partial double glazing). Downstairs features the main living zones of the home including a traditional front lounge with a Pyro-classic log burner. The kitchen a timeless classic which will entice the chef of the family to create culinary delights serving to family in either the cosy rimu "built in booth" or the adjacent vintage dining room. French doors open out for alfresco dining and entertaining options on the expansive deck. The combined nature of a bathroom and laundry functions well for family and downstairs socialising.

Meander up the staircase to discover three double bedrooms and a sunfilled "salon" all with unique personalities. The master bedroom is like no other and could easily grace the pages of "House and Garden" with WIR and peep views of the Port Hills over the neighbourhood rooftops. Imagine soaking in the claw foot bath while sipping a vino by candlelight in the divine upstairs bathroom.

To indulge those with an artistic/creative side the private studio at the rear of the property is the ideal work-space or alternatively a teenagers retreat. A tandem garage, garden shed and full fencing offers secure car parking and peace of mind. The garden is a lush mix of shrubs, herbs, fruit trees and vegetable plots and is the perfect spot to unwind.

This property is like a tour through history and closely located to benefit from the vibrant city and all the new development to come.
