This entertainer's paradise is an absolute must see as behind the traditional exterior is a very attractive proposition.

When our owners set out to complement their vision of a contemporary yet comfortable family home with the reality of a traditional Ponsonby villa, it certainly helped that one of them was an architect - and both had very good taste.

At the front of the house, the use of soft white and neutral tones in the wide hallway and bedrooms extends to the high stud ceilings, fireplaces and traditional details creating a warm ambiance. A second living easily reverts to a fourth bedroom. Clean clear lines with a geometric twist have been used in both the generous family bathroom and the Master en-suite - both have underfloor heating. The native polished Rimu floors lead you through to the north-facing designer kitchen and spacious living / dining zones. The sleek kitchen combines warm white cabinetry concealing integrated appliances, black granite surfaces and a touch of timber referencing the Rimu flooring. The addition of a family friendly computer space alongside the kitchen will be welcomed by parents. Floor to ceiling glazed doors open up these living spaces to sunny welcoming decks, landscaped lawn and garden. Electric retractable awnings have been added over the north facing decks for added summer comfort and the children (or working-from-home grown-ups) will love the standalone studio / playhouse in the corner of the garden. Leave the cars at home in the secure tandem parking for 2 and stroll to Ponsonby Road, just a minute away. Gas heating and an HRV heat exchange system add to the high spec of this gorgeous home, offering inner city living that perfectly complements a busy family's lifestyle. With the building codes, insulation and heating all up to the minute - It's a rare thing - View Today - You won't be disappointed.
