A captivating presence on iconic Hepburn Street just a stroll from the delights of Ponsonby Road is this graceful three bedroom villa.
Lovingly maintained and carefully restored by the current owners over the past 35 years, this property will transport you to a gorgeous farm cottage in Italy, surrounded by lush, magical gardens that create an abundant sense of serenity. Because it comprises two sections that were made into one, it occupies an unusually large site for this sought after street at almost 600m2.
Radiating traditional elegance with its elevated position and original features, the home’s warm spirit is noticeable from the moment you enter the front door via a delightful wraparound verandah.
Warm wood finishes, a high stud and original floors lead you through to the kitchen with walk in pantry, and open plan living and dining. Take in the botanical views for an almost treehouse-like feel and make your way out to the sun-soaked decking leading down to a truly wonder-filled garden, with paths leading through tropical and native planting for a true urban oasis.
All three bedrooms are roomy and immaculate, the primary spacious and warmed by electric heating, while another has private access to the north-facing back deck and its numerous alfresco entertaining spaces.
Downstairs is a generous rumpus and living space with doors leading directly out to the garden, a fabulous space ready to be filled with more laughter and happy memories. This home offers instant family comfort while promising potential for further development and expanding the footprint in line with your needs if and when desired.
With off street parking for one and perfectly positioned for premium inner central living, this beautiful residence is a timeless escape.
