Set proudly elevated to the road, ‘Langharne Residence’ is a magnificent piece of Mt Eden history, originally owned by Henry Clayton Brewer, Registrar of the Supreme Court. This iconic home neighbouring a former Governor’s residence, served as an entertainment house in its heyday. The current family has owned and loved this triple bay concrete villa for 73 years and now it’s time to pass the torch. Grand entry steps invite you up to a tiled portico and from here you experience the character and charm of the period architecture, featuring fireplaces, high ceilings, stained glass windows and chandeliers. Ornate architraves adorn the interior that includes a vast reception room which can be divided by cavity sliders. There’s a unique opportunity here to modernise and restore this timeless classic with its four bedroom, two bathroom floorplan on a level 916sqm, more or less, site also benefiting from the flexibility of the Mixed Housing Urban zoning. Located within walking distance of Mt Eden Village, it’s zoned for Maungawhau School, Auckland Normal Intermediate and Mt Albert, Epsom Girls and Auckland Grammars. Central and convenient, this authentic concrete villa presents a special chance to reinvigorate this Mt Eden treasure of the past into the present day.
