A Family Home with a difference!

A one of a kind home inside a historic Bombay church, plus an opportunity for additional income with five-plus bedrooms and a separate entrance area great for a work from home business.

It's not every day one gets a chance to live in a piece of New Zealand history! Fast forward one hundred years plus and a transformation has taken place.

Arriving home to a sanctuary from the outside world, and into a unique home with so much to offer. Modern conveniences such at the chefs kitchen, butlers pantry, pool, and plenty of accommodation.

Over 300 square meters provide ample space to be together or spend time alone. Your family will think they are the coolest, living, and entertaining in a house like this, a home like no other.

Unexpected delights in a building over 130 years old. Surprises in this property for sale such the ornate wooden arch leading to a substantial lounge, office (once the vestry), the designer kitchen with butler pantry and stylish bathrooms. A beautifully crafted winding staircase leads from the ground floor to the bedrooms. The apex roofline allows space for massive wardrobes and storage and a fourth floor. The basement contains a garage, rumpus, and downstairs bathroom. That's four floors in this historical building footprint.

Four floors and plenty of social distancing space when needed. What is your children's choice? The luxury of a princess or the recesses of a hobbit hole, this home has it all. A home like no other.

Summer is fun. Right outside on the sheltered sunny side is the family-sized pool, easily observed from all living areas and upstairs retreats.

Access to this property is easy, with a sealed circular drive, parking and another rear entrance big enough for vans and small trucks. Excellent tradesman's proposition. Access to north and south motorway close by.

This historic building and former Methodist Church, designed by *Edward Bartley in 1881.*Amongst this renowned architect, Bartley's most notable works were his ecclesiastical buildings including St John's Church, Ponsonby, St David's Church, Symonds Street, Holy Trinity Church, Devonport, and the Synagogue. He was also responsible for the Opera House and Auckland Savings Bank, Queen Street.

This property is very much for sale as the owners have new plans! This is your chance to create your own piece of history in this home is like no other.
