Privately nestled amongst lush greenery and birdsong, this character villa captures sweeping views and exceptional versatility on the edge of vibrant Newtown. Elevated above Wellington Zoo and just moments from the Southern Walkway, it's a warm, welcoming home that effortlessly combines timeless charm with flexible living options for families, extended family, home-and-income buyers, or those seeking the perfect work-from-home setup.
Spread across two levels, the home features three spacious double bedrooms upstairs, including a master with adjoining sunroom, a perfect place to relax amongst the treetops while enjoying the warmth of the sun, Florentine glass, and vintage sliding windows. Throughout the villa you'll find beautiful Edwardian character, from high ceilings, sash windows, bay windows, native timber flooring, cottage doors, and a clawfoot bath. Enjoy it comfortably as is, or explore the opportunity to further enhance and add value over time.
Adding to the home's versatility is a spacious, modernised self-contained one-bedroom flat below, ideal for guests, teenagers, Airbnb potential, or independent living.
Elevated for exceptional sun and lovely outlooks, the property enjoys a truly unique backdrop, with the distant sound of the zoo's animals adding to the atmosphere morning and night. Indoor-outdoor living is well catered for with both a deck and courtyard off the main home, wraparound decking for the flat, and beautifully established terraced gardens featuring oak, walnut, pōhutukawa, and kōwhai trees.
Underneath the home is a generous workshop space, perfect for extra storage, hobbies, or a DIY retreat. Positioned at the end of a peaceful city-fringe cul-de-sac near Melrose Park and the Southern Walkway.
Adding further peace of mind, the property's consents are now all up to date.
Held and cherished for the past 24 years, this is a rare opportunity to secure a truly special property filled with warmth, character, flexibility, and potential. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this unique home for yourself at the open homes.
