The Secret Garden

CV $2,000,000\n\nA tropical villa just metres from Jervois Road - who would have guessed? Set privately at the end of a leafy driveway, this romantic renovated villa is the perfect antidote to city life. Encircled with lush gardens featuring delicate palms, handsome bromeliads and lime-chip paths, you'll leave the stressful bustle and noise far behind as soon as you walk through the dramatic front door. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors look out from the full-width living area to the sparkling pool and outdoor entertaining terrace, broken only by the dramatic oversized fireplace set mid-way along one wall. Beyond the designer oak kitchen and guest bathroom, a quiet library provides a second living space while upstairs are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Use the second bedroom for guests with its semi-ensuite access. This and the master room open to a west-facing deck and the upper branches of the palms. A fin wall in the master bedroom gives dual access to the dressing and wardrobe area. As a true bonus, a self-contained one-bedroom apartment is a rarity and caters for guests, extended family or rental income. Secure undercover parking keeps the cars safe, while you wander up to Jervois Road to enjoy the cafes and shops. This is a stress-free lock-up-and-leave property but with all the personality of a character home. \n\nView \nSunday 25 November 1:00 - 1:45pm\nby appointment \n\nAuction: 3pm, Wednesday 5th December 2012 (unless sold prior)\nBayleys Auction Rooms, 4 Viaduct Harbour Avenue, Auckland\n\nClick here for interactive floor plans\n\nFor further information, please email karen.spires@bayleys.co.nz\n\nIf you would like to receive Karens email newsletter, Karen Spires Residential News, please email her - karen.spires@bayleys.co.nz \nIts a great way to hear about new listings and keep up to date with the local property market. \n
