Elevated from the road and occupying a super-sized site in the heart of Grey Lynn, this grand three bedroom villa is ready for a new owner to take its impressive features to a beautiful new level.

On one of the popular area's quietest streets, yet just minutes from cosmopolitan West Lynn village, the home is awash with original features, all still well-preserved. Ornate plaster ceilings, leadlight windows and original decorative fireplaces sit alongside a high stud befitting a residence of this size.

All three bedrooms are spacious, one with a fireplace and another looking out to the north facing front veranda, the perfect spot for morning coffee or cocktails as the sun sets, with a peek of the harbour. A large lounge area with fireplace also lies at the front of the home.

The rear is for entertaining, with its kitchen and dining complete with a window seat looking out to the garden. The original wood burning stove is still in place, as well as a modern, tidy kitchen with plenty of prep space. A separate laundry sits adjacent to doors leading outside, and there is a family bathroom with bath and separate WC.

The garden is level and private with mature planting including fruit trees and more than enough room to investigate adding a pool in time for summer. Raised vege beds will keep the green thumb happy, as will the Grey Lynn Farmers' Market that happens every Sunday just steps from the front door.

Minutes from the vibrant hub of West Lynn village with its fantastic bars and boutique retail, this family-sized home on an elevated and generous 536m2 site is definitely liveable as is but ready for a facelift. The beautiful bones of this grand dame are already there, waiting for you to make your own.
