8 Balmoral Road, Epsom, Auckland, 1023, New Zealand

This beautifully restored and renovated 1920s Arts and Crafts home, set proudly above the road, is testament to the timelessness of its traditional architecture and the appeal of a stunning modernisation. Known as Morvern House, it is set in a mature, landscaped garden with vehicle and pedestrian access off a private lane on Morvern Road. Full of the grace and elegance of this era, the generous living spaces have a charm of their own, enhanced by leadlights, original fireplaces, seating nooks, and artisan timber work. The large chef’s kitchen and family dining room is the busy hub of the home, flowing effortlessly to the spacious and completely private, sunny west facing decked garden – perfect for entertaining. The grand staircase leads up to three double bedrooms and family bathroom, whilst the luxuriously appointed primary bedroom featuring a walk-in-wardrobe and ensuite is on the ground floor. Charming, story-book balconies accessed off the living and upstairs bedrooms provide a peaceful retreat and lush outlook towards Mt Eden. Meticulously maintained and updated to contemporary standards with a full re-wire, re-plumb and central heating and air-conditioning, it’s offered with internal access, oversized double garaging and ample storage. Wonderfully unique, full of personality and with an ambiance that is not replicated today, this exceptional family home is in zone for Epsom Normal Primary, Auckland Normal Intermediate, and Epsom Girls and Auckland Grammar schools. Built to stand the test of time, this home will welcome your family for many more years to come.
