The city-side location is a charm, as is the opportunity to quickly settle into the hassle-free lifestyle of this charismatic single bay villa. With the vendors farewelling the city, this home offers the desirable Ponsonby and Grey Lynn lifestyle and the chance at transforming this villa into a valuable contemporised classic. Suiting budding families, first home buyers, professionals, nesters and investors with brilliant proximity to motorways and the CBD, the location benefits from quality schooling and strolling distance to bus links, Grey Lynn Park, Ponsonby shopping, cafs, restaurants and bars - there is something on the doorstep for everyone. Retaining countless period features with rich timbers, the brick fireplace and high ceilings, this home has serious potential to be modernised yet is move-in ready. Neatly arranged with three bedrooms, one renovated bathroom, two living spaces with the added bonus of a carport, two off-street parks and storage under the house. The elevated deck and main living areas are situated to the rear of the property for quiet and private indoor/outdoor entertaining, and though a little dated, the large kitchen still performs under pressure and with Countdown and Farro a few paces down the street to keep you stocked, you can pop out to buy your favourite bikkies and be back with your cup of tea still warm. With a bit of creativity and craftsmanship, this classic villa could be the next big thing in the best location!
