This picturesque villa envelopes you with the warmth of her history and modern transformation the moment you enter via the automated gate. Built in 1912, she has stood proudly in Cambridge for over a century and now with a thoughtful renovation, she offers the best of both worlds, with character and contemporary comforts.
Every day living feels easy here. You are only minutes on foot from cafes, restaurants, shops and Cambridge’s iconic Saturday morning market. Walk the dog around Lake Te Koutu, stroll into the township for a coffee after a workout in your dedicated gym space, or host friends in the private garden. It’s all right on your doorstep.
The renovation has been a labour of love, led by Nick Timms of Ink Architecture, who understood the importance of preserving original beauty while creating spaces that suit the way we live today. The flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas is open and inviting, with wide double glazed stacker doors connecting seamlessly to the outdoors.
Touches of history remain in the soaring ceilings, native timber floors, and the classic wrap around verandah. Modern conveniences are front and centre: a designer kitchen with LED-lit cabinetry, a sociable island, and dual zoned, ducted air conditioning. Gin connoisseurs and wine buffs will love the dedicated inbuilt bar, with beverage fridge space, and a display area for glassware too good to hide away!
The master suite is your calm space, with double glazed stackers opening up to the morning sunshine, a spacious walk-in wardrobe and emerald green tiled ensuite complete with frameless glass shower and LED backlit mirror. Children and guests will relish two further bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom, and there’s even an air conditioned lined studio offering flexibility for working from home, hobbies, or a home gym. Clever storage is a feature in this home, with a substantial attic hideaway accessible via dropdown stairs.
Fully reroofed, rewired, insulated and relined, this home is as practical as it is beautiful. This villa isn’t just a home, she’s part of Cambridge’s story, and now she’s ready to be part of yours. Phone to view or check out our many open home times!
