Eminently liveable yet with plentiful scope and concept plans available to effect a significant and gainful renovation, this mellowing circa 1900 square front villa also enjoys the cachet of its highly desired Grey Lynn address. Elevated and oriented to capture copious sunshine along with city and water glimpses the charming character home with decorative bullnose veranda displays the archetypal architectural elements of the era. Rooms have been opened out in keeping with modern family lifestyles while options to develop the substantial basement/workshop area would accommodate garaging.
Defined by high stud ceilings, native timber flooring, along with original sash windows, the crisp white interior instils a spatial generosity throughout. The wide central hallway leads through an archway into the useful open plan living and dining areas warmed by heat pump. Also incorporated here, the entertainer's kitchen boasts copious storage and stainless-steel appliances. Four amply proportioned bedrooms with the same ethereal white-on-white aesthetic assure of peaceful slumbers and all share a large combination bathroom with shower, pedestal basin, and toilet.
The 480 sqm (approx.) freehold section has parking for one car and a northeasterly aspect at rear where flat fenced lawns present something of a landscaper's blank canvas. A lean-to storage shed flanks access to what's currently functioning as under-house storage. In zone for Grey Lynn School and Newton Central, the property is an easy stroll to Grey Lynn Park and shops as well as Ponsonby Village. Similarly Kingsland is nearby for a rendezvous with friends while a commute by car to the CBD is a convenient off-peak seven minutes by car.
In zone for popular Grey Lynn School, Western Springs College, Newton Central, and both Kowhai and Pasadena Intermediate. Secure your family's future here.
