Wake to the sweet smell of your coffee brewing a few doors along. At last, a rare opportunity for a family to move into one of Birkenhead's most desirable properties, a lazy stroll to Birkenhead shops and the city ferry. Conveniently located among the hugely popular café, restaurant and designer boutique zone of Hinemoa Street, this much-admired classic square front character villa sits on a large, level 837m2 site.

Retaining lovely character features - original kauri floors, the arched hallway and sash windows - the 4-bedroom home was updated in 2016 and has been well-maintained. An expansive contemporary open plan living area added to the rear extends through glass sliders to a massive full-width sunny deck and fully fenced garden with room for a pool.

Heart of the home is a large, sleek white kitchen with a huge Corian waterfall island bench, a double Smeg oven and tons of storage. The extension was carefully planned for a family with a big laundry/utility next door. While the area fills with sun, a gas fire keeps everyone cosy in winter. It's a great social family or entertaining area. Parents can easily keep an eye on children playing on the big back lawn where the separate shed is ideal as a playroom, art studio or home office.

All bedrooms are doubles and the master suite has a walk-in dressing room plus tiled ensuite. The family bathroom includes a freestanding bath and separate shower, and extra storage is in the hallway.

Although the home is in a popular street, it is set well-back from the road and quiet. There is vast off-street parking for multiple cars, a motorhome and even a boat in front.

With so much land, this beautiful, modernised heritage home still offers potential for other possibilities. Yet it invites you to fully embrace all the advantages of its prime village location.
