Bold and beautiful
There's much, much more here than meets the eye! With picture postcard street appeal, this much-admired Victorian bay villa displays beautiful exterior decoration with slender triple verandah posts holding up the concave verandah, ornate fretwork, and double-hung sash windows. But, after admiring the stately Italian cypresses lining the driveway, and stepping through the original 1878 front door into the gracious salon, the mood is transformed from Victoriana into a mesmerising and sophisticated interior that reflects a love of art that dares to be different by using a bold and dramatic jewel-like colour palette that amplifies a feeling of excitement and fun. A 4.2M stud provides a cool oasis in the summer heat, and in the evenings the salon is suffused with a warm glowing light from lamp and candlelight, and the focal point is the original timber fire surround and mantle. The adjacent kitchen has wooden cabinetry and is big enough to fit a tiny table and chairs into. A second sanctuary sitting room (which could easily be converted into another bedroom), features a faux fire surround and French doors to a secluded covered deck. The exquisite bedroom showcases a breathtaking NZ-designed Victorian-style wallpaper and has a wet-wall ensuite, and there's a petite study, and a second shower room. Nestled in the garden, exuding an atmosphere of romance, is a studio decorated in a soft red, which is used as a restful place of solitude for creative activities, but could be utilised as a home office. There is a carport attached which doubles as a seating area and overlooks a charming 748m2 (approx) garden ideal for outdoor entertaining. Once featured in NZ House and Garden, this extraordinary, stylish 'grande dame' would make an idyllic B&B or a wicked weekender. But, if you've long held a desire to live in an historic village in a glorious villa, and to live happily ever after, now is your golden chance to make your dream come true.
