SOLD UNDER THE HAMMER

For the first time in 60 years, this historic Cecil Wood home - one of Scarborough's earliest residences - has become available. Held lovingly by its owners, approaching their 80s, this home is ready for a new family to create memories and enjoy its rich heritage.

Situated just a short stroll from the beach, the property offers walk-on access, with an additional entry from the uphill side. It boasts breathtaking, unobstructed views from most rooms, two covered decks, and various outdoor seating areas - views that are protected from future development and simply worth buying for.

Originally built in 1914, this colonial-style home showcases exquisite rimu panelling, built-in furniture and lead lights. The 1960s extension, also featuring rimu, adds two levels of additional space, while recent updates by the current owners include a sunroom, laundry, and a second covered deck.

The home includes a cycle store/workshop. The mature garden, rich with fruit trees and vibrant flowering plants, adds to the property's charm.

The interior features a welcoming main reception room that opens onto a veranda, complete with a log burner, a dining alcove and a separate kitchen with granite and marble surfaces. A dining/sunroom, three bedrooms and a main bathroom with a marble double spa bath complete this level. Additional amenities include a second bathroom, a separate toilet, and a laundry alcove. The upper level provides 360-degree views and includes a guest bedroom, and a study.

This cherished home, brimming with history and character, is now ready to welcome a new family. Embrace the opportunity to own a piece of Scarborough's legacy while creating your own future memories.
