Beautifully balancing timeless villa charm with the reassurance of extensive modern work, this standout St Albans property has been essentially rebuilt from the ground up, creating a home that offers both character and confidence in equal measure.
Set on 320m² of Medium Density Residential zoned land, there is valuable underlying land content here that adds another layer of appeal, whether you are a homeowner, investor, or buyer thinking long term.
Beyond its attractive double bay-fronted frontage, the home reveals a comprehensive transformation that has carefully preserved its 1940s character while delivering the benefits of a far more modern home. High ceilings, classic detailing and beautiful proportions honour its heritage, while the scale of improvements means buyers can simply move in and enjoy.
The stylish kitchen is finished with stone benchtops and a new Samsung self-cleaning oven, while the home's comfort credentials are outstanding. With full double glazing, insulation, relining, full rewiring, reroofing, a heat pump, and heaters added to all three bedrooms, this is a home that offers warmth, efficiency and peace of mind well beyond what its era might suggest.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, excellent storage, and a sleek tiled bathroom with integrated laundry facilities, all designed for practical, low-maintenance living.
Outside, further improvements continue the story. The extended patio enhances outdoor enjoyment, the new gate adds privacy from the street, and the recent exterior repaint gives the home a fresh, crisp finish. A secure off-street park only adds to the everyday ease.
Location is another major strength. In sought-after St Albans, you are moments from Edgeware Village, Merivale and the city, with zoning for St Albans School, Heaton Intermediate, Christchurch Boys' High School and Christchurch Girls' High School adding significant family appeal. The community pool going in at the end of the street is another exciting neighbourhood bonus.
