Awaken this grand old sleeping beauty and restore her to her former glory so your family can enjoy the finest, city fringe lifestyle. Full of breathtaking original 1930s character and in double Grammar zones, the magnificent home is set on 3 levels. It towers over the city capturing views of Mt Eden, Mt Hobson, the Sky Tower and Rangitoto Island from an amazing, elevated, north-facing 1115m2 site. You'll be captivated from the moment you step into the moody timber panelled entry hall. Echoes of a more gracious era abound. Twin living areas, both lounge and dining, extend across the northern aspect, featuring beautifully crafted, built-in timber cabinetry and rich dark timber floors. Gorgeous original 1930s fireplaces at both ends create a cosy atmosphere. The area can work as one grand space for entertaining but timber cavity doors slide across the middle to create 2 more intimate rooms.
While you host guests upstairs, your children can head down to a substantial teen retreat with its own entry, an area that's
just as ideal as a home office. There are 4 bedrooms with an office plus nursery upstairs. The master bedroom is huge with the most amazing views and the bathroom with its original pedestal basin exemplifies 1930s elegance. Throughout the home, tongue and groove lined cupboards offer good storage and there are lots of extra spaces with limitless potential. There's also the original dumb waiter for hoisting supplies to the upper level. A sweeping lawn extends in front and there are 3 garages to the rear. The home needs work, but it's worth it! Bring your architect and explore the incredible opportunities.
