The Best of Both - Your Unique Bungalow-Villa
Lovers of character homes can now have one of the prettiest historic homes on the market today. Completed c.1910, 8 Ngapawa Street is the perfect example of that rare and special Transitional Style of Auckland architecture.
One hundred years ago, the city's famously well-built and English-inspired Victorian villas transitioned to the exuberance, informality and spaciousness of the American Californian bungalow.
After a generation of care in the same family, this house blends historic features and high-quality heritage finishes while offering an amazing opportunity for future improvements.
Tucked away at the end of a no-exit street, this tranquil villa is part of a rare ensemble in Auckland today - a neighborhood of high-quality homes, dating from the same period.
Fringed with topiary and lined with mature trees, a feeling of privacy and comfort abounds - typical of a period where design was considered not just a new way of building, but a new way of life.
At 8 Ngapawa Street, a villa's high gables blend with the generous proportions and original shingle claddings of a bungalow. Inside, this home has effortless internal flow via two living areas to a private rear terrace and garden.
Located moments from vibrant Sandringham and Balmoral villages and in zone for excellent schools, here is a chance to enjoy this charming home as is, while making plans for renovations and extensions.
This exceptional property offers the perfect blend of location, potential, and urgency and is offered for sale for the first time in over 40 years.
