there is something undeniably special about a north facing turn of the century villa that has been both honoured and elevated.
graceful beyond words, this beautiful home carries quiet confidence. from the kitchen and main living spaces, your eye is immediately drawn to the pool, its acrylic side revealing a shimmering ribbon of water. it feels architectural, almost sculptural, tempting you in and blurring the line between inside and out.
set on a secure, generous 604sqm double site, expansive light filled living flows effortlessly to full wrap around verandas. there is scale here, yet the home remains beautifully manageable. infratech heating and a louvered patio allow for year round entertaining, whether it is long summer evenings or winter gatherings with friends.
a long central hallway anchors the home, culminating in a striking arched victorian window that frames the transition to the outdoor entertaining zone. it is a beautiful moment of juxtaposition, classic villa elegance meeting refined contemporary living.
the kitchen by natalie du bois is exceptional. a five metre island commands attention, complemented by bespoke cabinetry, a dramatic 3.5 metre stud, and a tall library style bookcase with ladder at one end. at the other, a glass floor panel offers a glimpse into the wine cellar below, a subtle yet unforgettable detail.
accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across the upper level, with four bedrooms, one currently configured as a study. the master suite is refined and private, complete with walk in wardrobe and ensuite. on the lower ground floor, additional living, access to the wine cellar, and a generous laundry enhance the home’s versatility.
this is a peaceful home, framed by perfectly clipped box hedging, as one would expect of a residence with such charm. beyond, the garden unfolds into a lush and private rear backyard, where tropical planting softens the entertaining zones. it is a home that balances versatile open plan living with genuine retreat.
an internal double garage adds rare convenience, positioned on a wide and quiet tree lined street just moments from vibrant ponsonby road village, boutique stores, cafes and restaurants.
it is little wonder the home has been featured editorially in the urbis and trends. properties like this, combining architectural integrity with everyday liveability, are seldom offered.
