A statement in scale, substance, and enduring character, this grand circa-1910 villa has been thoughtfully composed for modern family life - where timeless architecture meets considered functionality across two levels. Captivating with its generous proportions, light-filled living spaces in New Plymouth’s prized centrally located dress-circle.
Rich in street appeal, set behind a fully fenced frontage, the home immediately reveals its heritage pedigree. An undercover entry verandah and traditional leadlight panels border the front door, introducing the home’s time-honoured style. Classic timber sash windows, a refined weatherboard exterior, and a durable Colorsteel roof speak to both craftsmanship and longevity. Inside, the proportions are unmistakable - soaring ceilings, expansive rooms, and a sense of permanence rarely found.
Endorsed inside with original Rimu flooring, the layout unfolds with intention. The skylit central hallway leads to the open plan kitchen and dining space, with practicality that will serve busy households - all anchored in warmth with a featured wood burner. The main living is adjacent with open fire and an outlook of mature trees and hint of bustling CBD beyond. The area connects to an elevated terrace-style entertaining space - private, sunlit, and purpose-built for long lunches and evening gatherings. Beyond, a flat lawn not only provides space for children, but it also creates a seamless extension of the living - private, sunlit, and framed by established hedging.
Five bedrooms including a master with ensuite, are all complemented by built in wardrobes. A generous family bathroom with European laundry neatly tucked away also includes storage. Downstairs the additional living area creates natural separation for growing families or space for hobbies.
Practicality is delivered without compromise. Ample hallway storage, two separate internal-access single garages span both levels, while a dedicated workshop includes power and a battery capable of charging your EV vehicle.
Comfort is assured year-round with gas central heating, a gas infinity hot water system, and both ceiling and underfloor insulation – while solar panels bring further efficiency with hot water heating.
Set within a tightly held address, this is inner-city living with everything within easy reach - Pukekura Park, the CBD’s dining and retail scene, and sought-after schooling from kindergarten through to high school, all just a short stroll away.
This is a residence that understands its heritage - but lives entirely in the present. A home of substance, scale, and quiet confidence, designed to evolve with you.
