This historic two-bedroom hideaway in the heart of Thorndon is a picture-perfect haven for professionals, retirees, out-of-towners and anyone who wants to downsize in style. Cleverly renovated to feel more like a villa than a cottage, it abounds in character and charm with exquisite outdoor living and the bonus of off-street parking.

Features include:

- Sublimely renovated for modern living while retaining the hallmarks of its heritage, complete with high ceilings, sash windows and cottage doors
- Versatility of a second double-bedroom, with ingenious storage and bifold doors to the lounge, that you could use to work from home or for extra living or entertaining space
- Open-plan living/dining with elegant gas fireplace and French doors to sunny, private, sheltered deck with roses and ivy hedging: where better to bask in birdsong and borrowed garden views?
- Recently remodelled bathroom with premium fittings, from Hollywood lights for a splash of sparkle to Perrin & Rowe tapware and imported tiles
- Tucked away in a remarkably quiet, community-minded, no-exit street that's just a short stroll or bike ride from the CBD, waterfront, Parliament, the Botanic Garden, and Tinakori Village's boutiques and eateries
- Flat drive-on to carport and off-street parking for up to two more cars while being near the motorway for quick weekend getaways

For sale for the first time in over 30 years, this is a rare chance to buy a unique lock up-and-leave sanctuary that blends exceptional cottage living with villa grandeur on the cusp of the city. Don't miss Sunday's viewing.
