Her Majesty - Now Sold

7 Willis Street, Mount Albert

For sale by Negotiation.

Finding a blend of traditional charm and modern comfort often comes with compromise - but not at 7 Willis Street. Maintaining all the character and class of its 1920s origins, this fully renovated and extended home is basically brand new and ready for its next chapter. It sits proudly on a 579 m2 Freehold site positioned back off the road, secure, private and gated.

It’s the kind of home where you know that if the walls could talk, they’d have plenty of stories to share. Stories of generations of kids playing under the shade of the pear tree in the fenced backyard. Of family celebrations in spacious entertaining spaces. Of cosy evenings glimpsing the twinkling lights of the city and sky tower in the distance.

And now it’s time for more stories to fill these walls. Yours?

• Property Description

  After all, with five double bedrooms, it has the makings of a home where many more family memories take place. A designer kitchen which would make any chef proud, a large island bench complete with a huge scullery, (modern, integrated appliances have all been fitted), it acts as the heart of the home and sets the tone for easy entertaining within the open plan living, dining and lounge area which can cleverly be closed off. Doors open to a private landscaped patio area, where morning coffees, summer barbecues and family games await.

  The home’s four designer bathrooms will help to keep the peace during the morning rush, with the master enjoying its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe (all bedrooms feature a fitted wardrobe). Panelled walls and deep skirtings marries contemporary luxury with timeless elegance creating character and charm. An abundance of storage and a downstairs mudroom which has been designed to handle everything that Saturday sports gear throws at it, with a large farmhouse sink and brand-new fitted Electrolux washing machine and dryer. Internal entry garage lined with spacious cupboards.

  The exterior character of this weatherboard bungalow is carried throughout the home, with wainscoting, laminated wooden flooring, panelled high stud ceilings and soft tones throughout keeping that classic charm. But while the aesthetic says heritage, the sleek and stylish fittings, interior features and finishings are nothing but modern. A heat-pump, insulation and double-glazed windows mean this warm and cosy bungalow is nothing like many of its generational counterparts.

  This heritage gem sits within the Golden Triangle, Mt Albert’s most desirable location, where tree-lined streets lead to an easy commute to the city, a walk to Mt Albert Grammar School or nearby local parks,

  As a Heritage Protected site, the gorgeous character homes in your new neighbourhood will never be built out.

  All the hard work has been done for you - you simply have to make this home yours and embrace all the ease and enjoyment that it has to offer.
