This perfect example of a Ponsonby villa will have you searching the dictionary for adjectives. You could try pristine or immaculate. They all describe this lovingly restored villa set just off Ponsonby Rd.

A gleaming white classic square front villa with neat picket fence and pretty planting around the door greets you on arrival. Step into the wide hallway with golden polished floors. The full stud height ceilings along with many other original features throughout the home resonate as to the owners desire to retain the villa character while creating a contemporary home.

All 3 double bedrooms have generous storage, the master an en-suite, and the 2nd bedroom, one of two original fireplaces. The main bathroom and en-suite both feature quality fittings, complemented in the main bathroom by a traditional claw-foot bath.

The north-west facing living area is the last word in ultra cool. As in the rest of this home every detail has been considered including the substantial, superbly appointed kitchen. A thoughtful addition off the open plan living space (with working open fire) is a second separate living area / media room or 4th bedroom. The quality audio-visual system remains with the house.

Floor to ceiling sliding doors disappear magically to allow the tropically-inspired outdoors in. The alfresco servery and outdoor fireplace bring to mind the many fun nights ahead of you, entertaining family and friends.

The location is as good as it gets - the only thing separating you from Ponsonby Rd is Nosh! Parking is no problem for you or your guests, with garaging for one and off street for two.

Words can only do so much viewing is imperative. After that it's just a case of: move in, unpack and start living the perfect Ponsonby lifestyle.
