22 New Bond Street, Kingsland, Auckland City, Auckland

Once upon a time, in 1900s, nestled between Mt Eden and Grey Lynn, a Kingsland villa was born.

Rich with charm and detail of a bygone era; she has recently undergone a loving restoration to bring her forward to modern day comforts from her current custodians - with an architecturally designed extension to boot. It's the ornate fret work, honey stained glass, solid wooden floors that compliment stunning 3.4m high studs that echo class and glamour. All the while this beauty enjoys her days basking in all day sun on elevated slopes.

A new and generous 169sq footprint boasts four spacious bedrooms, where the master suite is a true hero - featuring walk in robe and ensuite. Family and friends are not left without; with their own double family bath.

But what is unmistakably one of her best features, sits at the end of the wide character hallway: open plan living and dining accompanied by media room all connected to the heart of every home - her designer kitchen. Double farmhouse sink, Blum hardware and SMEG 6 burner cooker, makes hosting soirees of every size a breeze. To the right is an impressive 6m stacker that draws you out to enjoy a fully fenced, level backyard that is ready for her future owner's vision.
