3 Linwood Avenue, Mount Albert, Auckland City, Auckland

There's a particular gravity to homes that have been kept for more than three decades - and even more so homes that have seen more than 120 years of this leafy pocket change, grow and develop with the needs of the families who love it. For our sellers, 31 years have been well spent and their beloved home comes to market as they downsize. Now is your time for a reinvention - and a continuation. Early offers encouraged.

• This is a home with real presence; elevated and proportioned in the way substantial villas were meant to be, it has a confident air, with the elegant decorative flourishes of its era.
• Inside, the scale becomes clear. The floor plan separates occasion from everyday life with ease: a formal living room at the front - detailed, full of character and genuinely elegant - and a second living area that carries the rhythm of daily use. A study for those considering working from home or as a media space is a welcome bonus.
• Four large bedrooms. Three bathrooms, two of them ensuites, bring flexibility for larger families or those with regular guests.
• The conservatory or 'Solarium' deserves mention - it is not an afterthought but a beautiful, light-filled room with a distinct Victorian sensibility. Sunny, usable year-round, and entirely suited to long lunches or late afternoons that drift into evening.
• The house has been carefully maintained and is immaculate and entirely liveable as it stands but entirely reasonably it is showing signs of its age - which leaves options open for someone with vision to add a new and exciting layer to a home that has enjoyed this position of privilege through time.
• A short walk to Bar Martin and the village, close to transport with Baldwin Ave train station just minutes away, parks, and established schooling. It is one of those pockets people move into and stay in.

Flexible viewing times available. There may be some flexibility if you need to sell or attain finance prior to auction, please call us to discuss

While most homes circulate through the market every few years - this is once in a generation. This rarity must guide you in your action to secure a family history worth writing about. Act without delay.

All agent conjunctionals are welcome
