Built circa 1900, this genteel beauty has been home to its current owners for nearly 30 years and it's easy to see why their tenure has been so long. From your first glimpse, this is a villa that captures your imagination (& affection); the perfectly symmetrical entrance reflecting the order and balance within, whilst the delightful wrap-around verandah, draped with wisteria, hints at afternoons spent sipping tea with friends.

Step inside to fully appreciate its universal appeal. Notwithstanding our clients' aim of respecting the home's character detailing, contemporary conveniences have also been skilfully and sympathetically included to ensure total ease of living. Plaster archways, chandeliers, high ceilings and polished timber floorboards to satisfy history lovers, while modernistas will appreciate the open plan kitchen, easy indoor/outdoor flow and sleek minimalist bathrooms. Other enhancements include two separate garages with oodles of storage, re-roofed, re-wired and substantial repainting to make sure the home is set for another century of enjoyment.

The magic extends to the home's manicured 966m2 grounds, where complete privacy allows for garden parties and al fresco entertaining. Here you will discover a separate studio, complete with wi-fi and built-in sink, which provides a brilliant venue for work or play. Choose from a variety of lawns, outdoor pavilion, terraces and nooks - each with an equally delightful outlook, thanks to a myriad of plantings and hedges, offering evergreen pleasure.

It's hard to believe, but from this verdant idyll, nestled into a quiet leafy street, you are mere moments from the shops & cafes of Merivale Mall and Victoria Street, with Hagley Park and the CBD on your doorstep. Should schooling form part of your home buying equation, proximity to a range of excellent public & private options should remove any equivalence.

A visit to this gracious and charming abode will inevitably result in you falling under its spell - the only remedy is to ensure the keys to Holly Rd are safely in your hands come auction day (if not before).
