This home was originally built pre-1890 in classic New Zealand villa style, but thanks to a host of renovations over the decades, it had lost many of its charming character details Many hours were spent going through council archives trying to piece together what the house originally looked like. The interiors are fresh and modern, but with the nod to the home’s heritage. Details, such as arches and panelling have helped to restore this old treasure to her former, proud self.
