At 18 Douglas Avenue the Arts and Crafts facade sits confidently on the street, balanced and assured, with proportions that don't date and a look long admired. Established and part of the fabric of the neighbourhood, this is a family home with both history and a future to secure. Surely not to be repeated, it is simply unmissable.
• The quality lies in what has been retained as much as what has been improved. Leadlight windows, solid timber detailing and a striking staircase form the backbone of the home, original features that continue to work beautifully today.
• The layout offers genuine versatility, with bedrooms across two levels creating separation without disconnect.
• Three connected living spaces are anchored by a modern open-plan kitchen, supported by a combined scullery and laundry.
• Comfort has been addressed thoughtfully, with ducted heating and cooling, and solar-assisted systems that regulate temperature and reduce running costs, upgrades you feel rather than see.
• The front garden is formal and structured, reinforcing the home's street presence, while the rear is more relaxed, with a pool framed by established planting and palms, creating a private space for entertaining and downtime.
Douglas Avenue is a street where people stay. Mount Albert village and the mountain are close by, daily life is easy, and zoning for MAGS adds long-term appeal.
This is not a home built around a moment or a trend. It's a well-made house, carefully maintained and quietly improved over time. Early offers encouraged.
