What began life as an Edwardian villa in 1910 has been reimagined into a 252m2 (more or less) contemporary architectural triumph, blending historical charm with cutting-edge design. Perfectly positioned just steps from Lake Dunstan and the scenic cycle trail, this show-stopping home in the heart of Old Cromwell seamlessly combines history with bold modernity.
The new expansive living areas are nothing short of spectacular, with vaulted ceilings creating a sense of grandeur and light. A designer kitchen anchors the space, featuring an oversized Rimu island bench, a generous butler's pantry, a freestanding five-burner gas oven, double fridge space, and storage so exceptional it would make Marie Kondo envious. The open-plan layout flows effortlessly onto two large entertainment areas - a covered relaxation patio and a louvred outdoor dining space - perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying the tranquil setting.
The home offers three spacious double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to balance elegance and functionality, with custom-built wardrobes that complement the decorative fireplaces. The primary bedroom boasts a walk-through wardrobe leading to a modern tiled ensuite. The family bathroom is a special treat, featuring a freestanding bath, a sleek black-and-white tiled shower, and a heritage-inspired vanity.
Every detail has been considered to ensure warmth and comfort. Non-decorative windows have been retrofitted or replaced with double glazing, a water softener installed and every wall, ceiling, and accessible underfloor space has been fully insulated. Together with the huge log burner, heat pump, and heat transfer system, the result is a home that feels as warm and efficient as if it were built yesterday.
The property offers exceptional practicality, including an oversized single garage with mezzanine storage, a two-car carport, and a driveway to the east for rear-section access - providing ample room for boats, trailers, caravans, or toys. Sitting on over 1,000m2 of prime land, the fully fenced section has been transformed into a private oasis. Mature fruit trees, vegetable beds, lush landscaping, and multiple outdoor zones create a serene retreat. Beyond its current charm, this exceptional space offers incredible potential. Enjoy it as is, landbank for future development, or add a second dwelling or additional garaging (subject to appropriate council consent of course) - the possibilities are endless.
Don't just dream it - live it. Contemporary design, a massive section, and a prime location make this property a rare gem in Old Cromwell. Your future starts here!
