"Our Highland Villa"


65 Rose Road

Grey Lynn, Auckland

Sold - 07.07.2014

With the recent commemoration of ANZAC day and the marking of 100 years since the beginning of WWI, my mind began to wander to Sir Winston Churchill. I remember reading some years ago a quote from the great man, one with none of the wit and genius he was famous for, but some how just as powerful. In all its simplicity the quote simply reads, never, never, never give up." From the man who led the allies through one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history, this seems extremely fitting. Life is nothing but a challenge, and as Sir Winston said, success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." For those of you who have been down this path, perhaps this is the success you have been looking for? Glenferrie Villa is the perfect example of an Edwardian villa, constructed in the early 1900's with the name tracing its way back to the lands original owner a solicitor from Scotland. The heart of the villa consists of a beautiful open plan kitchen-dining-living area, giving it a perfect, social, indoor flow and creates the perfect place for entertaining all year round, especially when the indoor fireplace is taken into consideration. This villa is perfect for the family with four bedrooms and a second living space for a secondary living room or office. The backyard boasts an elevated deck from which a beautiful vista is presented, giving numerous options for entertaining or simply lying out on a bean bag with a book in the summer. Two off street carparks are included with the property allowing quick access to the main artery of Ponsonby with all the bustling shops cafs and restaurants, including the fantastic Orphan's Kitchen a restaurant you simply cannot afford to neglect! Villas like Glenferrie are few and far between, and the simplistic beauty of the property cannot be left to waste, this is a failure you cannot afford to have on your path to success! Never, never, never give up!"
