AUCTION THIS SATURDAY, 3PM!

Update: Vendors' instruction to sell are crystal clear, and this may very well be the best extended, character, full section buy in Kingsland. All Conjunctionals Welcome!

Beyond character, charm and comfort lies the true test of time and endurance - and this iconic Kiwi villa simply has it all, right in the heart of popular, convenient and oh-so-trendy Kingsland.

A silent yet proud testament to endurance and legacy for over 100 years, our owners have brought to life a creative vision where contemporary design, characterful heritage and modern comfort converge. Set on a sizeable 574sqm freehold section, this restored and modernised gem now boasts a dapper 4 bed (1 ensuite), 2 bath, 2 living, designer kitchen configuration with that quintessentially seamless, single-level villa flow - an experience best discovered in person.

An authentic homage to the good old days of a bygone Kiwi era, this villa has all the charisma and charm that makes character homes highly coveted trophy properties, including:
• Ornate symmetrical fretwork and honey-stained glass
• Solid timber flooring and balustrades
• Traditional gabled roof form allowing for 3.4m (approx.) voluminous ceiling heights
• An iconic elevated street presence
• Wide character hallway connecting the entire home
• Wide front porch access complete with a British-inspired black glass entrance

No 21st-century home, however, is complete without the bells and whistles of modern comfort. Completed to exacting standards as a celebration of heritage aesthetics for our owners' own family, the result is a tasteful, future-proof transformation designed to stand the test of time for decades to come:
• Architectural extension now boasting an (approx.) 162sqm floor area
• Exterior and interior restoration
• Extensive new electrical and plumbing upgrades
• Double-glazed ranch sliders enabling seamless indoor-outdoor flow
• Oversized timber decking, perfect for entertaining or relaxing
• Designer kitchen with double farmhouse sink, Blum hardware and SMEG 6-burner cooker

The gift that keeps giving, complementing and completing the authentic villa experience has to be its piece de résistance - a vast, rectangular, sun-drenched and perfectly level lawn, an extraordinarily rare offering that invites everything from children's ball games and effortless entertaining to gardening, spa pool indulgence and the vision of a breathtaking future swimming pool framed by elegant tiled terraces. A luxury character residence, you say? A real 'flex', as the younger generation would say.

There's a reason why Kingsland has become home to so many couples and families alike. Whether it is its proximity to the CBD, major transport routes, public transport and, of course, endless hospitality options Auckland has to offer, there's something for everyone to enjoy for years to come. In zone for Mt Albert Grammar School and a 5-min stroll to Kingsland Village, homes that deliver both the quiet strength of endurance and the ease of modern convenience in equal measure are increasingly rare.

With no hesitation, our owners are highly motivated to start their next chapter and sell - this campaign supersedes all prior marketing so ensure this makes it onto your viewing list!
