Description
The vendors of this stunning villa have found the home they want to downsize to. They now want to sell to make this happen, hence a price reduction of over $400,000. They are serious and they're looking for a serious buyer for this substantial family home in a prime DGZ location.
From the road, 'Scarborough Cottage' oozes historic charm. After all, it was one of the original homes to be built on the prestigious 'Northern Slopes', over 100 years ago.
But step across the porch and through the front door, and you're immediately struck by the generous proportions of a substantial much-loved Remuera family home, with the present owners looking to downsize after 22 fun-filled years here.
To one side of the hallway, you find formal living and dining rooms, rich with period features; to the other side are three bright bedrooms, each with French doors spilling onto a sun-soaked deck.
Stairs lead up to a fabulous master suite, complete with home office and a sumptuous bathroom, topped off with a sea view.
At the rear of the home, on the main level, the open-plan kitchen / dining / living area overlooks the garden sanctuary below, with heated pool, and the valley beyond; a panelled library invites you to settle into a book in front of the ornate fireplace.
But there's still more to come.
Head downstairs and you emerge into a huge multi-functional room that simply must be seen to be believed. Used at times as a snooker & games room, a rumpus & tv room, the present owners have relished holding family parties here, where 100 can sit for dinner, served by the room's own bar area and generous washroom facilities. The party can continue through the doors onto the deck and down to the pool.
And when the party's over, you're within walking distance of Remuera Road and its transport links, and Remuera Village.
