12 Richmond Avenue, Northcote Point, North Shore

Artfully Renovated Villa on 697sqm

Positioned on the rise of Richmond Avenue, this historical Kauri homestead has been in the same family since it was built nearly 140 years ago. It was crafted by the current owner's great-grandparents who rowed ashore to Sulphur Beach in the 1880s.

The simple and solid original villa has been extended over time and has recently undergone a stylish modernisation that has artfully retained the heritage character. Soaring Kauri ceilings create drama in the long entrance hall, where four bedrooms, two living areas showcase original fireplaces, newly polished kauri floors, sash windows, and lead lights.

The light-filled lounge, dining and contemporary kitchen flow out through French doors to the outdoor living and expansive lawns at the rear. Set on a 697sqm freehold site provides further opportunity to enhance and develop.

Proudly sitting in an elevated position - where views of the inner harbour and Rangitoto are captured from the front verandah, the home offers all this and of course the sought after Northcote Point lifestyle.

Auction 1.30pm, Thurs 21 Apr 2016 (unless sold prior).
