16 John Street Ponsonby, Auckland City

The vendor is downsizing and has said to disregard the previous sale price.

There's something magnetic about this turn-of-the-century villa. With its intoxicating blend of character and contemporary sophistication, this is a home that's mastered the art of living well.

Beyond the wide, welcoming hallway, natural light floods the open plan living space, seamlessly combining heritage and modern design. Polished concrete sits alongside warm timber floors and the crisp, timeless palette creates the perfect backdrop. The chef's kitchen, anchored by a generous island, is smart and functional, the delightful heart of the home where conversation flows as easily as the coffee or wine.

Stepping outside, the lush garden and generous decking offers a private sun-soaked oasis, framed by views of the Sky Tower. A Mediterranean-style al fresco dining zone sets the scene for long summer lunches with loved ones, complete with your own built-in pizza oven.

Three elegant double bedrooms offer peaceful retreats, each with generous double-height wardrobing and plantation shutters, while the master suite adds a touch of luxury with its tiled ensuite. A smaller fourth room is a versatile space - ideal as a study or kids' play room.

The residence is complete with central heating, dual garden sheds, attic storage and two side-by-side off-street parks, a rarity in this prized location.

Perfectly positioned at the Herne Bay end of John Street, it's a short stroll to morning coffee on Jervois Road, evening dining on Ponsonby Road and excellent local schooling at nearby Ponsonby Primary and Intermediate.

This is Ponsonby living at its most refined - timeless, welcoming and undeniably special.
