5 Karamea Rd, Mangonui, Far North, Northland Mangonui circa 1860 Gracious Colonial Villa

Located above the historic Mangonui Village sits this gracious colonial double bay villa, brimming with character and history dating pre-1860.

The corner site is fronted with a post & rail fence and set on a large 2619 square metre (more or less) section, with lovely harbour views. This double-story villa incorporates front flanking gables on either side of a return verandah and central battered chimney.

The interior boasts three spacious double bedrooms, a large lounge with modern bi-fold doors opening onto a deck with views of the harbour, an inbuilt fireplace, a modern bathroom close to the master bedroom, and a second bathroom off the kitchen. The re-modeled kitchen features granite benchtops, stainless steel appliances, and a wood burner firebox to keep you warm on cooler nights. From the kitchen, you step through French doors to a large paved and sunny private courtyard area where you can dine alfresco all year round.

In a bygone era, downstairs is where servants of the day cooked the meals with the original fireplace.

There is a double garage adjacent to the house and the servant's cottage formerly used as sleeping quarters, this could be converted into a sleep-out or playhouse.

Located close to the historic Mangonui village there are cafes, restaurants, pubs and the world-famous Mangonui Fish and Chippery.

Astute buyers with a leaning towards historic homes will recognize how to take this unique piece of Mangonui history to the next level.
