Overview

Historic Villa with Land & Versatility

Step back in time with this remarkable 1900's villa, a home that has stood proudly for over a century and continues to capture hearts with its timeless charm and grace. Set upon 1.2 hectares of flat land, this property blends historic character with modern comforts, all while offering room to breathe, create, and live the lifestyle you've always dreamed of. From the moment you arrive, the home's striking villa exterior sets the tone. A wide covered porch greets you, overlooking the orchard and mature trees - the perfect spot to unwind. Inside, polished Kauri floors, intricate architraves, cornices, fretwork, and leadlight details transport you back to the craftsmanship of yesteryear. The renovated kitchen is a true showpiece, blending period charm with functionality. Generous cabinetry, ample bench space, and an open scullery flow seamlessly into the dining and living spaces. Multiple living rooms offer versatility - from a cozy family hub with built-in fireplace and heat pump, to a formal lounge boasting an elegant mantelpiece, perfect for evenings of quiet reflection or entertaining guests. The master bedroom is an impressive retreat with French doors opening to the veranda, a bay window with built-in seating, and light-filled spaces that honour the villa's heritage. Two further bedrooms continue the theme - generously proportioned, tastefully updated, and one complete with another fireplace and mantel. The family bathroom, with its clawfoot bath, blends old-world romance with everyday practicality. Beyond the villa, the property unfolds into a lifestyle sanctuary. Two entrances offer ease of access, while paddocks, a chicken coop, and a pond hint at self-sufficient living. An orchard of fruit and olive trees adds to the charm. With two power meters, three phase power, and a generous garage, the options are endless. Adding even more versatility is a two-room cabin - complete with sink and gas califont. Currently used as a creative sewing studio, it could easily transform into a home office, hobby haven, guest accommodation, or work-from-home space. Come and see for yourself all this grand beauty has to offer! For more property files, visit: https://propertyfiles.co.nz/property/SRP349
