47 Vigor Brown Street, Napier South

For over a century this charming character home has proudly stood the test of time. The beautiful renovation which was undertaken has retained its sense of yesteryear but has also ensured this residence offers the discerning buyer the benefits of modern living. A large porch and grand foyer welcome you into the home; rich timber floorboards and high stud taking you back to the 1910s. Designer Guild wallpapers and luxury fabrics are an opulent treat through much of the house, and our vendor has said he is prepared to leave several of the furniture pieces for the next lucky owner. The spacious lounge and attached music room or library, which could be transformed into a further bedroom, have been superbly decorated to create a comfortable haven you won't want to leave. The kitchen/diner has been upgraded and its feature coal range has been kept for effect. There is a small walk-in pantry and good bench-space for meal preparation. The large bathroom has been completely renovated and is well-appointed plus there is also a second WC off the laundry - always handy. The two bedrooms are spacious doubles, one with a lovely window-seat, and the hallway itself has huge appeal. This leads into a bright lavish sun-room, office and separate laundry/storeroom, plus it opens out to the back decking, from which you can survey your attractive rear yard - with incredible mosaic garden sculpture and landscaped grounds. An old plum tree provides tasty fruit and wonderful shade during the summer months. Underfloor and ceiling insulation is present, and the property has been rewired, replumbed and largely re-gibbed. Four heat-pump/aircon units keep the house temperate through the seasons. This fabulous home has super street appeal, its striking exterior a unique statement in the neighbourhood. Situated in excellent school zones and only a healthy stroll from Marewa, town and sports parks - this home is very convenient. ...
