Overview

LANDMARK VILLA HOMESTEAD. SEA VIEWS, SPACE, STYLE.

If you are seeking that elusive character home, with deep roots in the fabric of its near-metro location in Birkenhead, we have found your gem. An original homestead, one can see why the original settlers hand-picked this strategic position, high above the Sugar Refinery, with extensive harbour views across to Watchman's Island, Harbour Bridge and the CBD. Standing the test of time, this classical double-bay villa offers space, flexible living zones and stylish modern appointments, blending old with new. Catering so well for growing families, the casual open-plan living flows out to decking and flat grounds, screened from neighbours and bathed in sunshine. The central kitchen, with brick fireplace, is a focal point of the home, blessed with harbour views and potential for further modernisation - effortlessly linking the dining and family rooms, sunroom/office, main bathroom, and laundry. A larger home of 180 sqm (per Core Logic), the 4 bedrooms are generous, including a primary with an ensuite. The luxurious main bathroom, featured in Home & Garden Magazine, boasts a freestanding bath, floor-to-ceiling tiling, a wet shower, and a stylish vanity. For villa lovers, the back-to-back cast iron fireplaces and ornate plastered ceilings bring us back to the turn of the century, with the formal lounge perfect for entertaining, or a quiet night in. From the covered front verandah to the grand central hallway, high-studded walls, leadlighting and beautiful wide-profile Matai floors, this is an architectural classic. Over 100 years on, Highbury enjoys an incredible range of facilities, literally around the corner. Leisure Centre, 33m heated pool, cafes, restaurants, Primary school, Kindy, plus fast-track commuting to the City. For developers or landbankers, the freehold title (802 m2 more or less) offers further development opportunity - now or in the future. (Zoned Mixed Housing Urban). A striking home. A landmark to secure - so rarely available. A legacy in the making.
