Those with their head in the future but their heart in the things of the past will immediately identify with this special piece of Mt Eden’s history.  One of Auckland’s original homesteads (circa 1844), its striking Rangitoto stone exterior is a pointer to longevity and the craftsmanship of a former era.  The sympathetic modernisation over time has been done with respect to the original level of detail.  The result is this totally endearing example of a heritage home.  Located in the Maungawhau, ANI, Epsom Girls and Mt Albert Grammar School Zones, it is set on 1262m2 of lawn and garden.  Destined to be a timeless piece of Auckland’s residential history, it will appeal to those 'collectors' who appreciate special things.
