Steeped in history and occupying a combined allotment of 1218m2 in the heart of Westown, this stately two storey residence is crafted with spectacular proportions and exquisite detail throughout. Designed in 1925 for Dr A R Andrews by renowned architects Messenger, Griffiths and Taylor, it sits in a pocket of stately homes built for medical professionals to be within close proximity to the original Barrett Street Hospital. Lovingly cared for by it's current custodians it delivers craftsmanship and period features resplendent of a bygone era.
Downstairs is a welcoming formal entrance, perfectly appointed to greet guests. Also on the lower level is a formal dining and separate lounge. Built in furniture, indicative of this era, combines with the native timbers, plaster ceilings, open fireplaces and leadlight windows to capture a sense of history and style. Completing the downstairs living is a separate kitchen, wet area, combined laundry and bathroom plus separate toilet. There is ample storage under the stairs. Double doors from the lounge lead out to an alfresco dining area overlooking the garden. The large country style kitchen has Rimu features and it's own electric hot water cylinder to service the kitchen. With room to accommodate a dining table the kitchen also has a butlers pantry for additional storage options. Take time out in the peaceful and private family room which has the most magnificent bush outlook and French doors for easy access to the deck.
A grand staircase leads to the upper level where there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower, bath and vanity. There is a separate toilet adjacent to the bathroom. The master bedroom is spacious with lots of storage and attracts all the afternoon sun.
Practicalities include gas infinity hot water and gas central heating. An extra large double garage provides security for two vehicles and room for a workbench and space for garden tools and DIY projects. A sweeping driveway provides off street parking for guests.
The section, which combines two titles, is primarily level, but the surprise feature of this remarkable property is the bushland at the rear of the home with an abundance of birdlife including Tui, Fantails and Kereru. Children will delight in this wonderland where they can explore nature among the trees.
Circa 1929 this extraordinary residence delivers a unique family lifestyle which is on the doorstep of a number of amenities including Sanders Park, Yarrow Stadium, the Westown Shopping Centre and Western Park. It is also within easy walking distance to a nearby childrens playground and it is on the bus route for students who require public transport to schools in the city. It is only a few minutes drive to New Plymouth's CBD and the Coastal Walkway.
