There are homes you admire and then there are homes that stop you in your tracks. Built in 1895 and beautifully brought into the present, this rose-wrapped family villa is an exquisite celebration of character, craftsmanship and care. Ornate finishes, charming details and magazine-worthy interiors combine to create a uniquely liveable home in a neighbourhood where history, beauty and everyday family life coexist. This home is currently being operated as a successful Boutique Bed & Breakfast.

Set on a world-away 978m² section, this immaculate two-storey home enjoys high ceilings, unbeatable space and light at every turn. Five double bedrooms and four bathrooms (incl. two ensuites) provide room for every arrangement, while three living areas offer flexibility for every stage. The open kitchen/dining/living is suited for busy mornings (and entertaining with doors onto the veranda). The elegant separate lounge offers an adult retreat. And the upstairs living could be a teen hang-out. The practicalities continue with a separate laundry and study/sewing room, while comfort comes in the form of a gas fire, two heatpumps, underfloor heating in three bathrooms, plus multiple bedroom and wall heaters dotted throughout.

Outside, the private country-cottage gardens wrap you in a sense of calm that's removed from the rush. Generous without being overwhelming, there's space for kids to roam, adults to unwind and guests to linger with a gazebo (plus spa pool), a patio, the veranda and raised planters stand-out features. To finish, there's double garaging and off-street parking awaiting behind the electric gates.

Located for lifestyle and long-term value, you're a hop from Northlands Mall and Merivale shops with zoning for CGHS, CBHS, Waimairi Primary, Heaton Int. & Papanui High. Nearby private schools add desirability along with excellent transport links and easy city access.

Mesmerising, breathtaking and ready to enjoy, this home combines soul, scale and substance with an unrivalled sense of place - without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
