Impressive Family Residence in Top Street

We are proud to present this beautiful early 1900's family home, built with integrity and craftsmanship from robust materials and stunning heart Rimu native timber doors, architraves and skirting boards. This charming property combines English country-house elegance, with majestic 10 foot high studs, generous sized rooms, Carrara cornices and bespoke coat-of-arms stained glass windows.
This family home has been with its current owner since 1992, and has been lovingly renovated and restored, and is a testament to old world charm, whilst embracing the new, with double glazed windows throughout, and heat transfer system and wood burner to keep the chill off those cold winter nights.
Upstairs comprises three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large utility and laundry room (which could also be used as a craft room or office), and a wet room which leads out to the delightful east facing garden and patio, bathed in honeysuckle and roses. Climb the steps to a surprisingly large rear section.
Family living is positioned to the front of the house, affording all day sun and beautiful views to Mt Victoria. The rimu kitchen is in keeping with the character of the house, yet affords all the modern conveniences and ample storage. The large dining room flows effortlessly to the family lounge, making it the ideal entertainment space. Beveled glass doors lead to the generous formal lounge, with an elegant ornamental tiled fireplace and French doors leading out to a sunny balcony, ideal for entertaining or enjoying a glass of wine watching the sun go down. Period lights and calm décor throughout add to the charm of a bygone era.
Downstairs hosts a large room that could be a fourth bedroom, teenage hangout or study retreat which overlooks the tranquil garden. An internal door off the hallway leads into a wonderful 3 car garage and there is also off street parking for 3 further cars - more than enough room for family and friends.
Nestled on an elevated, private sunny section, surrounded by mature trees, with all day sun, this home will appeal to a wide range of discerning buyers, including those already living in Hataitai and looking for a large, comfortable family home and those wanting to move to this much sought after suburb.
First impressions are important and this magnificent home will certainly not disappoint! R.V $1,180,000
