Cherished by the current owners for many years, this stunning and iconic family home embodies the spirit of this sought after neighbourhood and is a perfect example of why so many want to live here.

Known to locals as the House of Roses' due to the delightful hedgerow that lines its large front garden, it opens onto a wide hallway featuring all of the essential heritage touches, including a formal lounge and dining area with original fireplaces and classic board and batten ceilings. Two large immaculately kept bedrooms lie on the other side of the hall, along with an elegantly tiled family bathroom with classic clawfoot tub.

The spacious colonial-style foodie's kitchen comes with carefully selected appliances in keeping with its character, while the low maintenance outdoor living area is purpose built for entertaining friends and family all year round. A family dining and lounge area also lend themselves to effortless days and nights, and allow more than enough space for the whole family to play.

The master suite is its own private sanctuary, with multiple custom wardrobes and a sparkling en suite. A further bedroom can be found above, with enough space to serve as a work from home situation or as a teen's zone with plenty of room to study and chill with friends.

Below the house is a spotless carpeted double garage, while two additional vehicles can be easily slotted into off street parks outside. Below the home is an extensive workshop and utility space that is perfect for storing and maintaining all the toys, with potential for a wine cellar and more.

From the wraparound verandah to the heritage accents, this beautiful home is respectful of its past yet just minutes from Ponsonby Road. It won't last long.
