Character homes of this calibre are a rare find in Riverhead.
Jasmine Villa is set on a generous 807sqm freehold site, tucked away on a no exit peaceful street. This beautifully renovated property blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern upgrades, creating a warm, inviting home that is equally suited to growing families, professional couples and downsizers seeking space, character and privacy.
From the moment you arrive, the home's street appeal is undeniable. A welcoming covered verandah with a classic bullnose roofline, ornate fretwork, detailed handrails, brass front door step and extra-wide entry stairs creates an elegant first impression reminiscent of the villas that grace Auckland's most sought-after city-fringe suburbs. Mature hedging, established trees and feature granite pavers frame the home beautifully, while the quiet, private setting adds to the sense of retreat.
Inside, soaring high-stud ceilings, stunning leadlight windows and calming contemporary colour palettes combine to create a light-filled and welcoming atmosphere. Extensive improvements mean the hard work has already been done, including fresh interior painting throughout, freshly stained decks, all-new drainage, designer lighting and new blinds throughout. A moisture barrier, excellent underfloor insulation and ceiling insulation ensure the home remains warm and comfortable year-round, while the fully serviced ducted heating and cooling system delivers climate control to every room, including the bathroom.
At the heart of the home, the beautifully upgraded kitchen features brand-new appliances, built-in seating with clever storage solutions and rich ebony-toned native timber flooring that extends through the entranceway. Adjacent to the kitchen, the fully fitted laundry offers exceptional storage and practicality, making everyday living effortless.
Relocated onto the site just over 10 years ago, the home offers a large family living room, four generous bedrooms, providing flexibility for families, guests, hobbies or working from home. The oversized master suite (has also been used as a living room) is a true retreat, complete with a charming bay window, walk-in wardrobe and ample room to explore adding an ensuite in the future. The remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned with generous built-in wardrobes, while the family bathroom is perfectly positioned to comfortably service the whole family.
Outdoor living is equally impressive. An expansive covered entertaining area and oversized rear deck overlook lush established gardens, mature hedging and large lawn spaces, creating a private sanctuary for year-round enjoyment. Whether you're hosting friends, enjoying a quiet morning coffee or watching the children play, this is a space designed to be enjoyed. The charming playhouse will delight younger family members, while the secure extra-high dog-proof fencing provides peace of mind for pet owners.
Practicality is another standout. Extensive off-street parking provides ample room for multiple vehicles, boats, trailers, campervans or work equipment. A garden shed and timber mini workshop with double doors offers versatile storage for tools, bikes, sporting gear, gardening equipment and hobbies. Above, a large attic space accessed via pull-down stairs and complete with lighting provides exceptional storage today and exciting future potential for those wishing to explore further options.
Warm, welcoming and beautifully maintained, this much-loved home combines the character and charm of a classic Ponsonby-style villa with the comfort and convenience of modern living. Opportunities to secure special homes like this, in Riverhead are incredibly rare, with very few character villas like this ever coming to market.
A versatile property that will appeal to families seeking space, professional couples wanting a unique home with personality, or downsizers looking for character without compromise, this is a residence that has been lovingly enhanced and admired for years.
