ELEGANT HERITAGE ESTATE ON NORTHCOTE POINT

ELEGANT HERITAGE ESTATE ON NORTHCOTE POINT Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Auckland history. Gracious 'Quinton Villa' (1904) is one of Northcote Point's most significant homes. Built for the Trounson family and later owned by Mayor of Northcote Jean Sampson, it's said to have been built from a single kauri tree, resplendent throughout the home's polished timber floors, high ceilings, French doors and ornate Colonial detailing. Elsewhere its elegant features and solid bones have been beautifully preserved, strengthened and modernised. Step into a dramatic entrance with original stained-glass windows to a ground floor with three large double-bedrooms, two with en suites and access to the verandah and swimming pool. A serene sitting room provides brilliant acoustics for music. The bathroom has been tastefully reimagined with a deep, clawfoot bath. The formal dining room has hosted many memorable soirees. The expansive Poggenpohl kitchen was converted from what was originally three rooms. Complete with a double oven it now has oodles of space for the family to spread out at its marbled benchtops, versatile dining areas or to relax in the sunny conservatory. A striking custom staircase leads to three carpeted upstairs bedrooms, two with loft storage access, plus a bathroom, kitchenette, office/library and excellent storage, (even more in the double garage!) Four fireplaces throughout the home effortlessly heat both floors. A Pohutukawa and tropical planting frame the fully fenced lawn, ideal for children and pets to roam. You're virtually 10 minutes from the city via the Northcote ferry to town, the iconic Northcote Tavern, the Bridgeway cinema and award-winning eateries - plus easy motorway access at the end of the street. The hard work is done. Simply move in and make this grand beauty your own.
