A turn of the century villa with an interesting history! For it's first 30 years it was the 2nd story of one of the areas original farmsteads before being split from the ground level and relocated 100m north to where it sits today. Privately nestled in amongst heritage trees on a large section you could be mistaken for being in the country. Lovingly renovated and restored in 2019, this beautiful 3 bedroom/2 bathroom villa now offers the perfect mix of modern conveniences and original features.
The house was built throughout with Rimu (a NZ native hardwood) but had been covered up with carpets, vinyl or paint for years. Post renovation the Rimu has been set free. Wooden floors restored, doors & trim stripped back and new benchtops installed in the kitchen and bathrooms. Fully equipped modern kitchen with a center island making it great for cooking and entertaining. 2 large lounges located on opposite sides of the house, making one a great morning spot to catch the rising sun through the trees and the other for the afternoon setting sun. High ceilings, central heating, 2 fireplaces and outdoor patio dining makes this a very comfortable house both inside and out. Note: A security camera operates in the front entry area.
