Selling for the first time in nearly 25 years, this very sunny Circa 1910 bay-front villa archetypally presents to the street. The expanded four-bedroom weatherboard home retains the aesthetics of its era while offering scope to upscale further and add value.

Set across two levels totalling 230 sqm the top floor is dedicated to family living and entertaining. Rooms are classic and spacious, while the home retains its wood joinery windows, high stud panelled ceilings, and original native timber floors, complemented by some glorious leadlight windows. Gas central heating is fitted, with generous living and dining areas - open plan yet providing versatile separation between zones. A step-down lounge with window seat is a great space for TV viewing or relaxing with a book or friends. French doors extend the possibilities for socialising by connecting to the north and west facing deck with magnificent views and sunsets across Remuera, capturing the day from east to west. The family sized kitchen is well endowed with cabinetry and shelving and an eye-catching granite topped island integrating gas hob and wine storage. Bedrooms are configured with three on the top floor and a fourth downstairs. On the ground floor a large timber floored rumpus-come-family lounge room with outdoor exit is a huge bonus if you count teens amongst your crew or need a work from home space. Bathrooms are located as one on each floor, while a separate laundry, spacious workshop and ample storage are downstairs also.

A double carport with access sits downstairs beneath the deck and a fenced well-established and beautifully landscaped front and back garden features lofty palms, flowering beds and mature trees. In zone for desirable Meadowbank School, close to main commuter routes and with Waiatarua Reserve and Remuera shopping precincts close by, this outstanding neighbourhood is close to essential amenities and will be particularly attractive for a busy family.
