Double Bay Villa Scores on the Corner

This double bay villa is pretty as a picture and a compelling city fringe offering. Tucked behind the much dreamt of white picket fence, this superbly located home with four bedrooms on a freehold 383 sqm corner section would appeal to a family wanting the cachet of top schools and convenience of superb community amenities. Bay villas traditionally have a formal upright street facing aspect however, this modernised adaptation enjoys a west-facing partly covered courtyard at the rear just awaiting your summertime alfresco brunches.

The interior has been modernised over the years and is freshly painted in a crowd-pleasing white on white palette - a blank canvas is ready for those keen to stamp their mark. Elements of the past shine through in high panelled ceilings, sash style windows, coloured glazing and timber architraves and skirtings. The central hallway leads directly down to a chic and contemporary kitchen where a heat pump wards off winter chills and a dining nook leads outside. The formal sitting room has a dining area while a second lounge adjoining a bedroom could be repurposed as a dual access walk-through dressing room to the smartly fitted-out ensuite bathroom. The remaining sizeable bedrooms share the second bathroom and a separate powder room. Parking is much coveted in this neck of the woods close to Eden Park so the points on the board keep coming with a separate double garage plus ample additional off-street parking.

Zoned for Mt Albert Grammar School and Auckland Girls Grammar, the property also sits within walking distance of Mt Eden Normal School and Kowhai Intermediate. Close to the vibrant Kingsland hospitality precinct with the train station nearby, and a 10-minute drive to the centre of the city. Act fast, with the add value aspect, this won't last!
