Property with gardenLower Hutt (New Zealand)Price :on request
Breathtaking grandeur and grace are the hallmarks of this benchmark character home, sitting amid magnificent grounds elevated for sun and views that stretch across the Hutt Valley to the harbour heads.
The 3827sqm oasis includes a tennis court, summerhouse, roses, hydrangeas, and fruit trees, including Monty’s Surprise apples, lemon tree, brown turkey figs, crab apples and feijoas. Adding to the splendour are liquid amber, weeping elm, blue cedar and maple trees while the rear of the property is surrounded by native bush.
Built in 1929 by prominent merchant John Hill, the 390sqm arts-and-crafts showcase abounds in heritage features, from oak and rimu joinery, matai floorboards, and bevelled glass French doors to stained leadlights, Carrara ceilings, ornate chandeliers and English wallpapers with William Morris designs.
The entrance opens off a tiled veranda with iceberg roses and buxus hedging into a grand foyer with spectacular stairway. Downstairs are two lounges, with bay windows: the drawing room, with French doors to the veranda, and the oak-panelled sitting room with its imposing ceiling beams and charming window seat. A formal dining room with built-in oak dresser opens to the verandah. Gas fireplaces complement the central heating.
The remodelled kitchen, is respectful of the era and features a Falcon range with two ovens, a six-burner cooktop, captivating view of the garden, casual dining and walk-in pantry.
Upstairs are double bedrooms, landing with a pool table and library, a TV room that flows to a conservatory, and two bathrooms: an ensuite and the original tile bathroom, complete with vintage bath and shower.
Other features include cellar, attic storage, garage and sheds.
We will miss the space, character, privacy and views from every room, say the current owners, who have meticulously maintained the property for 24 years.
