If you love the beauty of a character home but don't want to compromise on space or everyday liveability, 76 Aroha Avenue may be exactly what you've been waiting for.
Beyond its handsome transitional villa facade is a home of genuine scale and presence, rich with the original features that make this era of architecture so enduringly beautiful. Soaring stud heights, spectacular ornate ceilings, polished timber floors, bay windows and a handsome fireplace bring warmth, elegance and personality from the moment you step inside.
The main living room is an absolute standout. Generous, light-filled and wonderfully dramatic, it is the kind of room that reminds you exactly why people fall in love with character homes.
Yet this is certainly not a home stuck in the past.
At the rear, the floor plan opens into a superb kitchen and dining space with vaulted ceilings and impressive proportions. The kitchen is large, practical and designed for real life, while wide doors connect the living area directly to private outdoor entertaining. Family dinners flow easily into long summer evenings outside.
Three bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, while the home's generous footprint gives every room a sense of space rarely found in a three-bedroom property. With off-street parking for two cars, the practical boxes are well and truly ticked too.
Then there is the location. Aroha Avenue sits within one of the most tightly held pockets between Sandringham and Morningside, with an easy walk to either Morningside or Kingsland and their cafés, eateries and train stations. Excellent transport links and some of Auckland's best city-fringe amenities are all within easy reach. In zone for Mt Albert Grammar School, Mt Albert School, Kowhai Intermediate and Auckland Girls' Grammar School.
This is character without compromise - beautiful original detail, genuinely big rooms, fantastic living and a location that remains an enduring inner-city favourite.
76 Aroha Avenue is a transitional villa with real presence, and we think you are going to love it.
