After a top to toe refurbishment, this classic Remuera villa on an expansive (763m2) elevated, north-facing site is an absolute family wonderland. No need to lift a finger. From a new roof to new paintwork, new decks, tiles, carpets, new kitchen, laundry and bathrooms, new Bosch appliances - everything's freshly done to a high standard. Delightful character details combine perfectly with tasteful contemporary comforts and the big flat private, fully fenced lawn is still a vast blank canvas with abundant space and potential for a pool.

One of the legendary 'seven sisters' built for the original landowner's seven daughters - seldom do these handsome homes, in a popular tree-lined street, surface for sale.

On two levels, the space will surprise you - it's much bigger than you expect. Three separate living areas include an open plan kitchen/family room featuring hardwood floors, loads of storage and a sweeping, engineered-stone bench. The sunny area adjoins a full width covered deck for alfresco entertaining overlooking the garden. Stand at the kitchen bench and watch children playing below. After dinner, retire to the warmth of a gas fire in the adjacent lounge while children head downstairs to another enormous lounge/rumpus spilling out to the lawn.

Upstairs, there are three big bedrooms plus a laundry and beautiful bathroom with freestanding bath. On the lower level a huge fourth bedroom has a gorgeous ensuite, adding versatility next to the office and guest wc plus room-sized storage.

You'll love the family friendly location of this turn-key villa with secure gated parking. It's heartland Northern Slopes Remuera, in double Grammar zones and a short stroll from Knead Café in the ever-popular Benson Road shops. Discover a family dreamland.
