41 Vermont Street, Ponsonby, Auckland

Strength of character

One of the last opportunities of this kind, this handsome villa is just a quick makeover away from creating the home you have always desired. With its prized Ponsonby location and on the right side of the street, it is already radiating serious street appeal, and with a spacious and practical layout all you need to do is provide the finishing touches.

Follow the original wood floors along the hallway to the open plan living and dining area which opens onto a north facing back yard with elevated decking spread over two terraced levels. You wouldn't know you were living on the doorstep to buzzing Ponsonby Road in this private and lush outdoor space, which is ready to blossom with a little tender loving care.

Currently configured as four generously proportioned bedrooms with lofty ceiling height and period features, investigate your options to transform one of the bedrooms into a secondary living space if desired. The family sized bathroom comes with a luxurious built in bath, and there is a separate toilet room and laundry plus storage space as well.

The home is flooded with light thanks to multiple sets of windows placed strategically throughout, and there is a heat pump in the lounge plus three original fireplaces and an alarm for extra security.

In fantastic proximity to local schools including Ponsonby Intermediate as well as multiple childcare facilities, you are spoiled for choice. With the added bonus of off street parking yet only steps from Ponsonby Road, you can embrace true inner city living. Homes with such obvious potential are quickly snapped up, so don't delay.
