Built in 1909 and with only three owners to date, this two-storied villa stands proud just a stone’s throw from Ponsonby Road. 

 

This grand old dame has been modernised for today’s living with playful notes, yet there is still plenty of opportunity for further development. Individual rooms typical of this vintage, allow family or guests to spread out and enjoy their own spaces in this light, sunny and very private home. 

 

The soul of this house is evident as soon as you enter. The whimsical interiors inspired by old world glamour offer something rather special. Master chefs will enjoy the generous kitchen and combined dining or for something more intimate retire to the library or curl up in front of the fire in the living room. The media room boasts its own bathroom and could easily be transformed into a nanny or guest suite with French doors opening to the garden. Summer nights can be enjoyed alfresco by the outdoor fire while watching the children play on the large, flat lawn, complete with playhouse. 

 

Just a moment’s walk from Ponsonby's top restaurants and cafes, you can enjoy everything an urban lifestyle has to offer, all the while knowing there’s a peaceful sanctuary awaiting you at home.
