8 Schofield Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland

This is the One!

AUCTION BROUGHT FORWARD - NOW 2PM, WEDNESDAY 02 OCTOBER 2013

This quintessential four bedroom, two bathroom villa is rich with history and heart. A much loved family home to creative owners, it has seen many happy times. As a classically configured villa, character details include mellow timber floors, decorative features, French doors, high board and batten ceilings, a claw foot bath, ornate fireplaces and a magical old brick wall in the living room that was part of an old clothing factory once operating on site. The rear of the house wraps around a large suntrap deck and garden opening from the farmhouse kitchen and main living area. A second living space could be a library/snug, separate dining or home office while the four bedrooms enjoy generous proportions. Look a little further to discover a vast lower floor area with high ceilings which adds another 54sqm to make this an expansive home. Essentially undeveloped, this area could be a separate studio, guest quarters, or a teen hangout. Leave it as a separate space, or add internal access. The choice is yours. Elevated above the road behind a secret garden of palms, flowers and street-side garaging, this city fringe haven is a short stroll away from Grey Lynn shops, cafes, magical parks and close to Ponsonby Road and the CBD. Just bring your imagination. This is the one!
