Character Family Home - Renovation Heaven!

A perfect canvas onto which to paint your own picture - dependable and strong, this character villa of weatherboard, concrete tile and native timber flooring means this home has very solid "bones" and is ready for its modernisation into this century, but retaining the character of yesteryear!

At 170sqm, this is not as large as many of its wealthy neighbours, so with smart design, a modern palette an extension to this character home will add great value over time. Large upside here with Merivale Ave being a secret avenue in the busy city, running between the more well-known St Andrews Rd and The Drive and so, in a very prestigious location just behind Epsom Bowling Club.

This substantial property enjoys a private, tranquil, garden setting in a very sunny, elevated position accessed up a magnificent palm lined driveway. The land measures a massive 1920sqm so room for renovation, extension and a swimming pool! Built in the 1920's and featuring a centrepiece magnificent 180 deg. bay window in the main lounge, the home is 170sqm so is ripe for extension into a larger dwelling.

The traditional wooden floors glow with warmth matched by native timber crossbeams in some rooms. Stained glass windows highlight the curved bay windows in the main lounge which also boasts a stone lined fireplace.

Warm, welcoming and located in DGZ, it is a home with true pedigree that could be turned into a genuine mansion by extension across the rear, sunset filled deck that faces the spacious rear lawn. Own the home you can be proud of - renovate this over time into a magnificent family mansion with all the facilities in one of the most sought after suburbs in Auckland.

Bring your vision, architect and children - a "must to view". Property ID: #MAE3566
