16 Summer Street, Ponsonby, Auckland, 1011, New Zealand

The perfect inner central pad for those who love to entertain, this stunning four bedroom home just steps from Ponsonby Road is your answer to modern life lived well.

 

A classic villa that has been transformed with designer detail whilst keeping key heritage elements in place, it opens with an expansive hallway featuring embossed French wallpaper and French oak flooring alongside a traditional board and batten ceiling. To one side is a large bedroom with bay window, on the other a stunning master with generous walk through wardrobe to the chic en suite. Two further double bedrooms enjoy space and great storage, one of which is currently configured as an office so would suit those who work from home. A family bathroom is shared by all.

 

The central hub of the home begins with the extensive kitchen, designed with a true gourmand’s eye and so much space to move. Complete your prep whilst talking to guests at the lengthy island with its own built in sink, or across the room to those relaxing in front of the designer gas fire. Built in surround sound will provide the soundtrack to great nights in, or sit more formally at the dining room table soaking up the atmosphere.

 

The living area has a seamless flow to the very private outdoor area, accessed via floor to ceiling sliding doors for maximum impact. There is extensive decking and a large entertainment and barbecue area, stepping up to mature fruit trees and a spa pool hidden just out of sight.

 

With off street parking for two, heat pumps, 382m2 of room to play with and ultimate privacy despite its close proximity to the buzz of Ponsonby Road, this classic with a twist is a true must view.
