14 Rose Road PONSONBY, Auckland City

That's right. Three cars parked off the street including one in a large lock-up garage. And still there's a good sized lawn with pretty gardens.

This double-storey straight front villa on a corner site is certainly a rare one. The romance of its era with double verandahs, staircase, fireplace and picket fence but with the convenience required of a modern lifestyle.

Downstairs rooms, both dining and living, open to verandahs and garden. The modern kitchen with lots of storage has big windows for light and views.

The bathroom is off the landing and the bedrooms are upstairs. The master bedroom is really big. Originally two rooms, it's now one with fireplace and sitting area. It opens on to a private verandah. There are two other bedrooms, one single and one double.

The infrastructure has been replaced and upgraded. Smart wiring for programmable mood lighting and security. Reticulated gas for cooking and water heating.

You'll appreciate the easy 250 paces to Ponsonby Road. SPQR, Il Forno, Bhana Brothers, The long Room and Olympic Laundry are all close by.

Sunshine, light and a real sense of character, plus the valuable garaging and parking make this home a Ponsonby Prize.

The vendor is negotiable and wants a sale.
