Capturing the perfect balance of yesterday and today, this classic villa has been masterfully updated and expanded for modern life. The surprisingly spacious property unfolds to offer a series of family essentials, including the four-bedroom, three bathroom main home, a resort-style swimming pool complex and a separate studio/home office with bathroom at the rear. An ultra-high-tech security system also provides excellent peace of mind.
The inspired, functional floorplan ensures easy living and effortless entertaining, offering different zones for everyone to relax and reset. Heritage features include native timber floors, high ceilings, sash windows and stained glass, which are complemented with white shutters and gallery-style walls. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms are located off the entrance hall, including the master with ensuite. The remaining two bedrooms are upstairs, with their own bathroom, study nook and living area - the ideal kids' wing.
The lounge is on one side of the ground floor living, with the large, well-appointed kitchen and dining on the other. Walls of bifolds connect these spaces to the north-facing alfresco living, which is covered for all-season entertaining. Easy-care turfed lawns and established tropical gardens frame the beautifully private pool, which is flooded with sun. The studio and bathroom out here present all kinds of utilisation possibilities, while the single garage is complemented with additional of-street parking.
This sought-after Sandringham neighbourhood is just a few streets over from Eden Park and close to the shopping and dining hubs of St Lukes and Dominion Road. It's also in zone for Mount Albert Grammar, Balmoral School and Balmoral Intermediate.
