This well-loved character home is very much integral to the history of Coromandel Top Town. Built in 1900 by Mr Rings, who was the first man to find a gold nugget in the nearby creek. Today it combines contemporary comfort with Victorian grace and has recently been tastefully re-decorated. All you need to do is move in and enjoy this beautiful character home.
The Villa has three good-sized bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, open plan living, dining and kitchen, as well as a walk-in pantry, separate laundry, bathroom and two verandas. Beautiful Kauri floors and a generous layout are truly made for living in style and a large wood burner will keep you cozy all winter while heating the water at the same time. The country kitchen is fully equipped with gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, range hood and plenty of storage space in the walk-in pantry. Ranch sliders open from the living room to a spacious, north facing veranda with all-day sun. This offers an extended living space and al fresco dining all year around.
