Beloved by one couple since the 1970s, this 1910 villa 5 minutes' stroll from Ponsonby Road and Western Park is so convenient to the Viaduct, the CBD and motorways north and south. Fully fenced, its lush front garden sits opposite a wide green entrance to Harry Dansey Reserve. Roses weave through the picket fence and a brilliantly intense bougainvillea arch introduces the veranda and front door.

Inside, original features such this upper level's high stud, kauri floors, sash windows and leadlights are interwoven with more modern renovations. A skylight tops the kitchen featuring stainless steel benchtops and sunset-hued cabinetry, which is open plan with the living-dining room with open fireplace and heat pump. The front master bedroom enjoys ensuite access to this level's smartly renovated contemporary bathroom. The second bedroom across the hallway, with French doors opening to the front veranda, is currently set up as an additional living room. A third bedroom completes this level.

The lower level, which can be accessed internally or externally from its own gated access, can serve to extend your living further or suit flatmates. Its two rooms with a heat pump open to a rustic outdoor loggia space. This looks out at a rear decked barbeque area stepping down to a level backyard ideal for children's play.
