62 Battery Road, Ahuriri

The owners have identified their next move and are motivated to sell this much loved character villa. This quintessential turn of the century, character villa is positioned privately behind a classic picket fence evoking the romance of the era, further enhanced with fretwork detailing and filigree metal window grills. The covered sun drenched west-facing veranda offers the perfect spot for relaxation. Upon entry, there is an element of surprise at the sense of spaciousness, with the previous hallway space having been integrated to provide a generous, light-filled, open-plan kitchen, dining and living experience, thereby maximising the footprint of the home. Rich native timber flooring, high ceiling stud and casement windows, together with original character features and detailing, evoke the heritage of the home. The new, stylish, cleverly designed kitchen features stone bench tops, pantry and great lighting, seamlessly blending modern functionality with character and charm and has direct access to a delightful courtyard and utility area. This charming home offers two large double bedrooms plus a freshly painted and carpeted single bedroom, which could be utilised as a home office. The new, generous, well positioned family bathroom has been thoughtfully designed as a very practical wet room to suit the needs of all the family. Mains gas heating, heat pump and ceiling insulation ensures year-round comfort. There is unlimited on-road parking in front of the property and a generous width access to one side of the property. Well positioned in sought-after Ahuriri, within walking distance to the beach, bars, restaurants, cinema, walking and bike trails and a short commute to the airport. This character-filled villa is not just a home; it's a lifestyle waiting to be embraced by those who appreciate the perfect blend of heritage charm and modern convenience. ...
