HAVEN ON HOBSON STREET - HOME WITH INCOME
Heritage, charm and elegance make this versatile villa a peerless landmark in dress-circle Thorndon. Built in 1896 for the son of a prominent businessman and Parliamentarian, it's the only single-level Victorian residence in a street renowned for its character homes. It has been superbly restored and discreetly enhanced for light-filled modern living on a leafy corner section with an exquisite cottage garden and the bonus of a stylish two-bedroom apartment for extended family, guests or income. Everything about this unique three-bedroom, two-bathroom home exudes sophistication and grace, from the high ceilings, stained leadlights and bay windows to the painted floorboards, tiled fireplace and near-new kitchen with premium appliances and French doors to an al fresco terrace. Also not to be overlooked are the three off-street car parks and the security of living in close proximity to a number of diplomatic residences. The result is a remarkable home of distinction that's as picturesque as it is practical.
