Architectural gem in the heart of St Johns Hill
Sitting on top of Whanganui in the heart of Saint Johns Hill is this fabulous Eddie Bellchambers original. Having been in the same family for the past 66 years this treasure sits amongst a well-established private garden that will tick all the boxes for those that love peace, tranquility and birdsong. A private driveway leads on to tree lined entrance that gives you a sense of calm on arrival sense. With views spanning the river, across the city and out to the ocean you will never want to leave this special spot. Stepping through the front door you are greeted with stunning views across the city from the large living room windows that span the entire living room wall. Eddie was generous with the proportions of this home and was incredibly generous with the windows letting natural light and sunshine to flow in at every possible chance throughout the entire home, allowing the beautiful landscape to become a natural artwork. From the entrance you have a study on the left of you which is a good size and could be a second living space or a work from home office as it has doors directly into the garden. The living room is designed to capture the views and has the original fire still in place. Moving through to the dining room you are able to access the deck and back garden. The kitchen which is in its original state has a built-in table and booth seating making informal dining a breeze. There is an abundance of storage which continues through into the open plan laundry and scullery. Up a few stairs at the end of the hallway you will find the three bedrooms. All three have great storage and are plentiful in size. There is a separate toilet adjacent to the family bathroom. Hallway storage has been thought of and you will find storage not only in the main hallway but also in the entrance hallway. You will find there is a double garage underneath the house which does not have internal access and there is a boat shed which is ideal for those that have a classic car or toys that need housing. This space can also double as a workshop or potting shed for the passionate gardener. Whether you are looking for an original treasure to keep true to it's roots or are wanting a renovation project this home is definitely a rare find you won't want to miss out on.

This prestigious home is an example of renowned architect Robert Talboys at his best. The 405 m2 (approx) grand manor is set privately away in a premium location on St Johns Hill. Built in the 1930s it offers a feeling of yesteryear with a twist of modern. You will love how welcoming the formal entrance is with the gorgeous native timbers and ambiance of a very special home. This leads through to two living areas, a formal lounge and a large conservatory with three lots of French doors that open out to a tranquil garden and large sun-drenched patio. Your guests will absolutely love being entertained in this area of the home. The spacious kitchen with breakfast area is a great space for the family catch up while the formal dining room is perfect for evening family meals or entertaining. There is also a spacious powder room on the ground floor, perfect for people visiting and entertaining. Take the lift to the second floor where there are four good sized bedrooms including the master with an en suite and walk in wardrobe. The large double garage is a perfect space for the family vehicles and toys. It has its own toilet to save the keen mechanic or gardener of the family a trip inside. Above the garage is a huge office/games room that is accessible internally and provides the perfect opportunity to work from home or for the unexpected guests. It also has its own bathroom and kitchenette. Set in 2,055 m2 (approx) of parklike gardens it creates a perfect postcard picture and would make the perfect wedding venue. It is in two lots so there is also the potential (with the appropriate consents) of subdivision if the section is too big for your family. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure a home like this so do not delay making your appointment to view it. Viewing is by appointment only.
