Immaculately renovated with nothing left to do, this gorgeous three-bedroom character villa is a smart solution for time-poor professionals who want to be an easy stroll to Ponsonby Road's cafes, restaurants, bars and boutique shops. Savvy thinking has delivered a clever layout in the living area. The lounge expands through into the hallway, gaining extra space and light. Yet the gas central heating keeps it snug in winter and a heat pump keeps it cool in the summer. Sun streams into the well-designed chef's kitchen/dining area, with tons of room to entertain to your hearts delight. There is a range oven plus a wine fridge, and loads of bench and storage space. A big bay window with a window seat is a great place to dine against a backdrop of hot fuchsia colour that pops against crisp white on the rear wall. French doors open to a sheltered, sunny outdoor dining area and a compact private lawn. In both the kitchen/dining and the bathroom, floor tiles are heated for winter warmth. The lounge connects through double doors to the kitchen and dining area, and it has a fireplace adding to the ambience. Bedrooms are all spacious and have big wardrobes and there's even plans available for those wanting a master ensuite. And though you can walk most places from here, double off-street parking is gold in this sought-after city-side location.
