Bold and beautiful
There's much, much more here than meets the eye! With picture postcard street appeal, this much-admired Victorian bay villa displays beautiful exterior decoration with slender triple verandah posts holding up the concave verandah, ornate fretwork, and double-hung sash windows. But, after admiring the stately Italian cypresses lining the driveway, and stepping through the original 1878 front door into the gracious salon, the mood is transformed from Victoriana into a mesmerising and sophisticated interior that reflects a love of art that dares to be different by using a bold and dramatic jewel-like colour palette that amplifies a feeling of excitement and fun. A 4.2M stud provides a cool oasis in the summer heat, and in the evenings the salon is suffused with a warm glowing light from lamp and candlelight, and the focal point is the original timber fire surround and mantle. The adjacent kitchen has wooden cabinetry and is big enough to fit a tiny table and chairs into. A second sanctuary sitting room (which could easily be converted into another bedroom), features a faux fire surround and French doors to a secluded covered deck. The exquisite bedroom showcases a breathtaking NZ-designed Victorian-style wallpaper and has a wet-wall ensuite, and there's a petite study, and a second shower room. Nestled in the garden, exuding an atmosphere of romance, is a studio decorated in a soft red, which is used as a restful place of solitude for creative activities, but could be utilised as a home office. There is a carport attached which doubles as a seating area and overlooks a charming 748m2 (approx) garden ideal for outdoor entertaining. Once featured in NZ House and Garden, this extraordinary, stylish 'grande dame' would make an idyllic B&B or a wicked weekender. But, if you've long held a desire to live in an historic village in a glorious villa, and to live happily ever after, now is your golden chance to make your dream come true.

WOW! This mid-century charmer is a shining example of its iconic genre, but behind its distinctive 1950s facade, it has had a meticulous transformation by its master craftsman builder owner and is now an impeccable contemporary home.

Reroofed, rewired, replumbed - even fully insulated and relined - it also has a new woodburner, heatpump and HRV system, and stylish new flooring. The open plan living, dining, and fabulous new chef's kitchen open through French doors to a vast deck that extends the entire length of the western elevation - perfect for grown-up entertaining. There are three sunny bedrooms, a family bathroom with spectacular feature tiles, and there's the bonus of an amazing second living/communal zone with many potential uses - home office, rumpus room, teenagers retreat to name a few - and the sophisticated decor keeps the look fresh and modern. There is also a separate laundry, sturdy carport, and garage - and new fences, landscaping and a fresh coat of paint give this stunning home great street appeal. The secure 903m2 garden has a big back lawn and an array of specimen trees - one of which boasts a tree hut - and being so close to the village centre you'll be able to leave the car in the garage and walk everywhere! This home was designed in the 1950's for kiwi families, has now been inspirationally refurbished for today's family life, and is all decked out to become part of the fabric of life for generations to come.
