67 Beach Road Papakura, Papakura

The stories they would tell.....This period home is a genuine early 1910's transitional Villa that measures 162sqm with a 24sqm veranda.
Step back in time as you enter the home through the ultra wide entrance hall with the attention to detail typical of its era. Some of the stunning features include the Orion No1 Coal Range, tiled fireplace, molded ceiling roses & covings, wide architraves & skirtings.
Large rooms throughout with rather unique separate bathroom spaces that have been modernised but retained the claw foot bath and tiled areas. Another modernised area is the super sized country style kitchen with oodles of cupboard and bench space. The original scullery is now a large laundry with plenty of storage. These rooms are nicely set at the rear with views to the back yard gardens.
The exterior of the home comprises the wide weatherboards of the day with some delightful detail on the windows. The large single garage is detached and sits close to the road. Lovely path meanders through the overgrown garden areas where one is greeted by fruiting trees, superbly scented roses and all manner of quaint undergrowth plantings. The birdsong is striking amongst the natives & flowering plants. So much to explore and plenty of joy in-store!
Now empty, this home was a greatly loved, an oasis for the family and all who were welcomed through its doors.
Still stately in appearance but now a little tired, this 100 year old home is awaiting the next chapters yet to be written and the life that a family can bring back into these rooms. (the hallway is wide enough for some great games to be had!). Are you the person that will come armed with a heart full of love for this property? Are you drawn by the magic of the days that these homes were built it and the charm they still hold - well come and see if this piece of NZ history is going to be a part of your future!
