39 Richmond Avenue, Northcote Point, North Shore City, Auckland

Deadline sale: Closes on Wednesday 5 March 2025 at 2:00PM (unless sold prior)

An elegant villa enchanting from the outset with picture perfect curb appeal impossible to ignore. Built in 1907, the facade emanates warmth and displays beautiful proportions, a striking bay window accompanied by a spacious and welcoming veranda framed with original coloured glass and fretwork detailing. The abundance of original features continue inside with high batten and board ceilings, wooden floors, sash windows and two fireplaces with exquisite tiled surrounds, combine to exude a comfortable informality.

Located on one of the most sought-after roads in Northcote Point, number 39 boasts a whopping 696m2 (more or less), Freehold section with an outlook over our beloved Stafford Park. The garden has the additional attribute of an expansive lawn that leads right out onto the park via a gate if one wishes to reinstate the original access.

Loved for decades by the same family, this home is ready to embrace a sea change. With a flexible floor plan, currently consisting of three double bedrooms, two spacious living areas, plus a kitchen diner and one bathroom with a separate w/c, and a garage; this residence may look demure from the front aspect; however, her rear affords amazing potential! With access via two separate doors there is an opportunity to develop underneath the house with full head height, the laundry is the only facility taking up a mere corner of this unusual space. With endless potential, invite an architect to reimagine the entire floor plan - add a pool in the garden and develop a summer house complete with shower room, build a bespoke workshop or hobby room, or an impressive guest suite or teenage space that leads seamlessly out onto the lawn.

Whatever you decide, one thing is certain, this piece of premium real estate is guaranteed to be a lucrative investment!
