Auction brought forward to 2pm, Wed 25th March 2015. From the wide kauri floorboards to the elegantly patterned pressed steel panelling in the hallway, this beautifully preserved three bedroom home with study and double off street parking is a traditional villa lover's dream. Resplendent with original character features, it offers huge potential to get creative and expand should you choose to develop the massive under-utilised basement area directly below the kitchen/dining and sitting area to the rear. The formal lounge looks out over a quiet street through a bay window, while the rest of the living enjoys a sunny private garden dotted with fruit trees - plums, grapefruit, mandarins and lemon trees - on a large 481m² section. It's particularly warm due to its north-west facing orientation, modern insulation and efficient underfloor gas central heating. Grab this fantastic opportunity, just ten minutes walk to the café zones of Ponsonby Road and Grey Lynn - a highly desirable central city location where values are rising fast.
