Steeped in historical significance, Long Cottage serves as a fine example of early American architecture and has recently been overhauled with designer finishes, making it an impeccable residence in heartland Merivale.
Designed by local architect J.S Guthrie in 1917, Long Cottage is one of a kind, being the first documented Colonial Georgian Revival style house built in New Zealand. Recognised as a Category 2 listed historic property, the residence was reconfigured into two townhouses in the early 1990s, which is how it remains today.
Laden with character detailing, the most notable is its striking, central staircase with spiral newels and turned balusters showcasing quality craftsmanship that has well and truly stood the test of time. Having enlisted the expertise of interior designer Davina Sutton, the home has been reinvented in its entirety, yet in a completely sympathetic fashion.
The classically configured floor plan encompasses three top-floor bedrooms, assisted by a fully appointed bathroom which epitomises traditional elegance.
A combined kitchen and dining room is a light-filled setting for relaxed entertaining and enjoys the warmth provided by a gas fire. A separate lounge with a decorative fireplace, charming in-built joinery and a heat pump offers a dedicated space for unwinding in comfort.
A casual sitting area on the landing, a classically crafted laundry, and a picturesque courtyard nook complete the list of enchanting features found at Long Cottage.
The location is yet another drawcard, privately positioned on a rear site only one block from Merivale Mall; you'll enjoy strolling proximity to the area's plethora of eateries, boutiques and everyday amenities while exceptional schooling options are also at your disposal.
Having stood for over 100 years, Long Cottage is a genuine local landmark that demands your earliest attention.
