Herne Bay.
Herne Bay.
Admired by many, this Colonial family villa circa 1910 is still one of the more attractive homes in this suburb. The original Architect got it right when he designed it on a big, 800-m2 property for a wealthy city merchant, to capture the sun and upper harbour views.
Renovated and extended 14years ago using architect Graham Pitts, the proportions, excellent floor plan and warm and welcoming character remain as conducive to family living and entertaining today as in early days.
From the grand tile porch proceeding an equally inspiring foyer, elegant, spacious formal and family rooms embrace a sunny, west-facing, private verandah that overlooks the pool and shelters from the city close by. Children can’t wait to return home for family occasions. Visitors feel special in a welcoming environment enhanced by ornate pressed steel and plaster ceilings, lavish original columns, an 11ft stud height and cosy open fire.
Incorporating a library, office, plus four bedrooms including master with ensuite. This substantial home, offers the added appeal of extra income from a 1249 sqft three-bedroom garden apartment below.
