In a sheltered private setting, 'Woodlands' is an exceptional property that offers a rare blend of character, space and contemporary comfort. Set on 2,755sqm of magnificent mature grounds, the home enjoys sweeping views across the city to the Southern Alps. The property sits on two titles, with two different street accesses.
Originally built in the 1930s, the substantial character residence has been beautifully and comprehensively renovated, including all earthquake repairs. Recent upgrades to cladding, roofing, insulation, heating, electrical and plumbing systems ensure peace of mind for the future and comfortable, easy living with timeless charm.
At the heart of the home is a fabulous kitchen and large dining area, the perfect gathering place for everyday family life or entertaining with friends. The living areas connect and enjoy the wide city views. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study and multiple separate living areas offer flexibility. All you would expect in a substantial home of this era - now modernised for comfort and enjoyment for years to come.
Outdoors, the landscaped grounds are a true garden oasis. The grounds feature lush lawns, winding stone paths, multiple garden rooms, productive vegetable beds, and an abundance of fruit and citrus trees - even an avocado thriving in this unique microclimate. This is a property that celebrates nature and self-sufficiency, while offering privacy and tranquillity. Sheltered from the easterly, the outdoor areas are the perfect places to relax and unwind.
Nestled on the Port Hills and with Rapaki Track and numerous walking and biking trails right on your doorstep, it's perfect for an active lifestyle. Access to the central city is quick and convenient, offering the ideal balance of hillside retreat and urban connection.
With children no longer living at home, the owners are on the move. It's now time for a new family to create their own memories.
