Tucked away behind camellia and magnolia on one of Ponsonby's most perfectly positioned and quiet one-way streets is this stunning classic. A 1870 build still sporting original kauri features, this is a one-of-a-kind residence of distinction situated just a two minute stroll from Ponsonby Road.

From the utterly charming street appeal, upon entry is a delightful experience, seamlessly blending tradition with contemporary comforts. Each of the three double bedrooms is flooded with light, whilst the open plan lounge and dining is warm and inviting with heritage fireplace as well as a heat pump.

There is still room here to add further value and update the kitchen, which opens directly out to the north-facing back deck and very private fully fenced gardens that include one of Ponsonby's original pear trees and a gorgeous feature volcanic rock wall. A veranda also opens to one side for morning coffees in the sun surrounded by the picturesque garden.

Ample storage can be found below the house with a trapdoor and stairs already in place, making for the perfect spot for your dream wine cellar. Upstairs is a loft-style studio space with skylight looking across to the Waitākere Ranges, and even more storage that can be easily accessed in the attic, ensuring ample opportunities for further transformation if desired.

At the front of the home is off street parking for up to three vehicles, a rarity in this ultra premium community - not that you'll be using your car, given Ponsonby Road and Jervois Road are on your doorstep and you are walking distance to popular swimming spots and parks.

A beautifully liveable true original still ripe with possibility given the generous size of its section and superb location, this rare gem in a prime position will be hugely popular so don't delay.
