Once run down and neglected, this exquisitely renovated five-bedroom villa has been given a new lease on life– and what a splendid life it is. Located minutes from the beaches in one of Auckland’s most popular coastal suburbs, this home has undergone a truly spectacular transformation. Remaining sympathetic to its 1910 era, the front facade has been smartly refreshed in a timeless palette of white and grey. When you step inside, however, you’re in for a treat. Contemporary materials and design elements are showcased at every turn. In the kitchen, a wow-factor green marble benchtop sits atop the kitchen island. Brass toe kicks against polished concrete floors are also striking, and the timber-clad ceiling is an elegant touch that marries beautifully with the cabinetry. Four large, sunny bedrooms; an office; four bathrooms; and two large living areas are each given plenty of space over the 280sqm floorplan. This is also a perfect house for gatherings, come rain or shine. Sliders open up from the living space to a louvre-covered deck. With a large wood-burning fire, plus spa and swimming pools, this is a home for all seasons, even when they all show up in a single day.
