Character charm

There is just something about the gloriousness of a turn of the century villa that's sure to make you weak at the knees. Be it the character, craftmanship or the wonderful sense of personality only a home of this era can offer. Situated in the heart of the desirable village of Pirongia, this property is bound to be on your 'must see' list.

Sitting proudly elevated with Mount Pirongia as your backdrop, the square front villa with a beautiful wrap around veranda, ornate timber features and a captivating stained glass front door invites you in. The residence spread over approximately 120sqm features a welcoming entrance hall, a high ceiling stud and stunning matai flooring. Accommodation is accounted for by three generous double bedrooms all with built in storage. The interior showcases period style in all its glory, with exceptionally crafted ceiling roses and a fireplace in two of the bedrooms. The living room is spacious and has another fireplace to keep you nice and cosy on those chilly winter nights. The home's exact age is unknown, but we believe it was built somewhere around 1900-1919 and was one of the original houses on the block. In recent years, the original wooden joinery has been replaced with single glazed aluminum and the kitchen was updated in the 1970's, so could do with a bit of love. The bathroom is modern and has the all-important separate toilet.

Hidden from the road, with your own driveway and turning bay, a large 1865sqm (more or less) section awaits. English style gardens line the boundary fence and there is also an array of fruit trees scattered around the property. The large double garage with workshop attached provides plenty of storage, as well as a woodshed, garden shed and an extra room. This wonderful property represents an increasingly rare opportunity to create your dream home in a premium location. Combine the old with the new and add your own creative flair!
