This timeless and living classic has stood the test of time since 1903 and as a neighbourhood landmark is one of the very few historic kauri villas in the area. Situated in a quiet location with farmland and cattle at the rear, it has around 1500m2 of established grounds, mature trees and even fruit to make jam and pies- just like Grandma used to ! Tradition steeped features include soaring 3 metre high battened ceilings, lead lights, sash windows, 2 large open fireplaces for real logs, wooden panel doors with brass hardware, and a covered verandah with age-old balusters and finials. Let the breeze in with 5 doors to maintain the perfect indoor outdoor relationship from the home office, a front north facing sunroom, and the large utility room all adding to the old girls charm. The spacious master suite includes an open fire, bay window, powder room, and an ensuite with a soaking bath, tiled shower, and a pedestal basin all fitted with luxury Grohe fittings. Cooking central is modern and well appointed and combines easily with the friendly dining area separated by French doors from the large lounge. Overall this home is rich in character and delightfully long on charm and you can be assured of the old girls continued history and your own heritage when you make it your own!
