Thoughtfully modernised

This classic, character bay villa is a rare gem. Sensitively blending refined original elements with modernisations, the home radiates charm from every angle, beginning with its fabulous street presence.

Perfect for the cosmopolitan professional, where open plan living and dining is anchored by an immaculate contemporary kitchen for entertaining before heading to Ponsonby Road for a night out, just a few steps away. The space flows easily to a north facing balcony flooded with all-day sun, and sports lovely views across the neighbouring streets filled with heritage homes.

The spacious primary bedroom is a sanctuary with ornate plaster ceiling, sitting adjacent to a generous lounge for cosy nights with a movie. A study is complemented by an elegant modern bathroom with freestanding clawfoot bath.

Step downstairs to a completely self-contained space that makes hosting guests a breeze, with a double bedroom, immaculate bathroom and study. There is also plenty of well-organised storage and a separate laundry.

Entertainers will adore the absolutely charming north facing garden. Host on the paved patio complete with outdoor fireplace, surrounded by mature planting for added privacy and serenity.

Supremely solid and carefully modernised to the highest degree, this wonderful residence places you so close to the action but feels like world all its own. With residents-only street parking in place and just minutes from the CBD and Herne Bay, you're in prime position for taking full advantage of all that inner central life has to offer. A premium proposition for those looking to enjoy urban life without apartment living.
