Victorian villa (circa 1890) set on an elevated site in the hill suburb of Belleknowes with stunning views over the Otago Peninsula to the Pacific. This large, graceful home has been extensively renovated during the past 27 years by the current owners. Roofing, plumbing, and wiring have all been replaced, interior walls relined, plus modern facilities added.
The house comprises a large dining area and kitchen featuring joinery finished with Kauri and hand-crafted lead-light doors. Adjacent is a large family living room featuring a decorative plaster ceiling and double-hung bay windows. Beyond this is a large formal lounge also with bay windows and an open fireplace . On the other side of a 10 metre long central hall are a large master bedroom and three additional bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes (unusual for villas of this period). There is also a smaller room which could be a fifth bedroom or office. Half of the 2 metre wide central hall is lined with book-cases, starting from the top of the panelled wainscoting and reaching up to the ceiling. These give 65 metres of shelving. The interior is completed by a large family bathroom (bath, shower, vanity, heated towel-rail, fan heater and extractor), two separate toilets and a laundry alcove.
The 1295 square metre section has been completely landscaped. Numerous plants and trees, both natives and exotics, have been planted and mulched with bark chips, giving a low maintenance garden - there are no lawns to mow! There is a north-facing, paved outside sitting area under a covered pergola – ideal for sunning or outdoor entertaining. A smaller similar area has been established outside the back door, while a two car car-port and paved entry gives plenty of space for vehicles. (The present owners have had 2 cars, motorbike, 6 by 4 trailer and rubbish bins in the car-port with space for two more vehicles outside.)
Two “lofts”, one with internal, the other external access, have been built into the roof space, giving around 5 to 6 cubic metres of secure dry storage. There is also a large basement, partly concrete floored, giving even more storage space.
Heating is provided by a Daikin heat pump, electric storage heater, Yunka multi-fuel space heater and two open fires.
Local amenities all within walking distance (2 km or less) include quality kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, supermarkets and a number of other shops, bus stops, medical and dental practices, sports facilities including two golf courses. The central business district and University of Otago are within 3 km. The Central Otago tourist and recreation centres of Wanaka and Queenstown are only 4 to 5 hours drive away.
