Having watched their kids grow and play around the pool for the last 9 years it is a little bittersweet for our vendors to be leaving this home where they’ve enjoyed such a happy family life.

This magical villa has been impeccably renovated and is immaculate from head to toe. An elegant entertainers home with its open plan living and kitchen area that opens onto the deck, pool and flat lawn bordered by a manicured tropical garden.

As the kids run from the pool to the spa or climb the treehouse dubbed Falcon Hurst (from the fabled Swiss Family Robinson) you’ll be enjoying a cocktail or beer whilst tending the BBQ and entertaining friends. With summer just around the corner this will surely be the top pick for family gatherings, and with Ponsonby Road just 400m up the road you’ve also got some of the city’s finest bars, restaurants and shopping at your fingertips.

Upstairs two of the four bedrooms open onto a covered veranda where you’ll enjoy a gorgeous easterly outlook whilst soaking up the morning sun. The staircase descends the middle of the home where to one side you have the living room made very cozy by a modern gas fire, and to the other side the open plan kitchen & dining space fully equipped with scullery and separate laundry. All complemented by a downstairs powder room.

Attention to detail comes to mind as you explore the house for the first time. High stud ceilings create plenty of space to hang your art, the skylight in the entrance way allows natural light to flood inside and the high spec fixtures and fittings that grace the home are a real stand out. It’s clear that a lot of love and thought has been put into developing and maintaining this home.
