The 'Duchess' revamped

Known as the 'Duchess' of Penrose Street, our current vendors have brought modern design into this home, whilst embracing the character details of its traditional build.
Built in the 1930s, this two-storey, four-bedroom brick and concrete home has multiple living areas. Guests can be entertained in the formal lounge and dining room. There are also delightful areas to relax in, including a large family kitchen and informal dining area, an entry parlour gets all the morning sun, and the family favourite, a light-filled conservatory with bifold windows and views of the back garden.
A striking rimu staircase with original detailing leads you upstairs to a galleried landing and bedrooms. The generous master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe room, a fully revamped tiled ensuite and a separate area which could be used as a study or reading area. There are also two other bedrooms with extensive storage options, and another fully renovated, family bathroom on this floor. A fourth bedroom or study is located downstairs and has access to a separate WC and laundry area.
Throughout the home there are the high stud ceilings expected from a home with such grand proportions: architraves, high skirtings, decorative ceilings, and unique chandeliers. Then there are the details that make modern family living more comfortable and efficient; nearly all windows have been double-glazed, there's ducted central heating as well as two separate gas heaters in the living areas, a DVS, and all flooring has been updated.
The section comes complete with a large double garage, electric gates, a new driveway, and manicured gardens that complement the style of the home. The back garden and patio area is fully fenced, perfect for kids and pets to play safely. There is plenty of off-street parking and it's in walking distance to desirable schools, transport hubs and local facilities.
