Keep Ringing the Changes on Bell

New Zealand is a young country, and as we grow and develop our cities, it becomes harder and harder to find the bones of our past. Our heritage. So much of our approach to home building today can be tied back to the Villa, those iconic stand-alone villas that decorate many suburbs across Auckland. Originating from the 1860's, villas soon became a part of the New Zealand story.

This stunning 1896 Villa at 19 Bell Road is no different. This wonderful home is soon to be 490m2 of fee simple land with sunrise in the kitchen, all day sun and views over the northern slopes.

This home is somewhat unique for a villa in that it has two storeys, ensuring that there is plenty of space for a growing family with its 3/4 bedrooms, two bathrooms and a New York-esque loft/office.

Also, with the additional space that comes from having two storeys, the home has several living spaces that offer multiple opportunities for relaxing, entertaining, and family time.

Looking outside the home, the rear garden has plenty of lawn for children to run around, play cricket, or kick a soccer ball, as well as endless entertainment opportunities come summertime. There is even scope for putting in a pool, should the temptation arise. The home can also boast an enviable position on Remuera's Northern slopes, rubbing shoulders with the well-known Arney Road and is perfectly located to take advantage of the Double Grammar Zone, as well as being zoned for Victoria Avenue Primary and Remuera
Intermediate. Numerous prestigious private schools are also within walking distance. The home also has easy access to Newmarket and Remuera Village with its multiple cafes and restaurants, entertainment opportunities, and transport hubs.

It's not common to have the opportunity to own and care for a piece of history in New Zealand. When it comes to our architectural story, it's getting harder and harder to get your hands on such a home. The opportunity to play steward for a few years is an enviable privilege; especially when the home is one like this.
