Pretty as a picture, this grand villa has much to offer for the DIY enthusiast. Sitting high and dry with views over Matata to the ocean in the west, it is set back on just under a ½-acre section. Welcoming wide steps invite you to the front door and a north-facing, covered bullnose veranda. French doors open off the front lounge onto the deck, overlooking a large tropical garden, expansive lawn and the ocean beyond. Adjacent is a corner sunroom with excellent light and hardwood floors. A central corridor leads to the kitchen, dining, and living areas at the rear, with two large bedrooms opening off the hallway. One opens through quaint French doors onto its own private internal deck, while the other offers views of the sea. The open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area feature a closed wood burner and heat pump to keep you cozy all winter. A wet-floor bathroom and laundry border the wraparound covered veranda at the back, which is private and peaceful-perfect for relaxing and enjoying the bush-clad hill behind. A wonderful self-contained one-bedroom unit with amenities sits at the back and is consented to operate as a business six days a week. Attached to this is the garage and workshop. There is a possible option to subdivide the section subject to resource consent. With much to work with, you can renovate this solid and sturdy 1910 home, featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors, and charming, authentic character. If you have an eye for design and are handy with tools, one could have fun modernising this villa and reap the rewards. Call Monique to view or for more details.
