This is the opportunity of a lifetime - the chance to own a grand character villa and an
expansive 1,437sqm (more or less) of prime Stanley Point land. There is room here for
everything: restore and elevate the existing home, create exceptional outdoor living, or
even explore subdivision potential and build a second home at the rear. Sites like this simply
don't exist anymore - this truly is something special.
This home has been loved and enjoyed by the same family for nearly 50 years, and it's easy
to understand why. This property is an exceptionally rare offering of premium freehold land
in one of Stanley Point's most sought-after streets. Positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, 5 First
Avenue represents an opportunity of scale and setting that is almost impossible to replace.
Built around 1910, the villa features original solid kauri timber floors, adding warmth,
character, and timeless craftsmanship. The interiors are light, sunny and expansive,
complemented by high ceilings and a generous sense of space throughout. A wide central
hallway enhances the home's grandeur, leading you through its character-filled rooms with
a timeless elegance.
At the rear, French doors open to a veranda with steps flowing down to the lawn and
expansive back garden - a beautiful, private connection to the land. This generous
backyard is ripe for transformation, offering endless scope to landscape, extend the home,
or design an entirely new outdoor environment.
What truly stands out is the scale of the site. The villa feels incredibly grand, and as you
move through the home, the history and the sense of opportunity are unmistakable. It's a
property that immediately captures the imagination - the character, the era, the width of
the section, the sense of space, and the potential to restore, enhance, or completely
reimagine something remarkable.
Opportunities of this scale simply don't come up anymore. With such a genuine blank
canvas, the next owner has complete freedom - transform the home, extend, landscape,
or consider adding a second dwelling. It truly is the Kiwi dream.
Whether you're considering renovation, rebuild, subdivision, or simply enjoying the home as
it stands, the land, location, and sheer rarity of this property offer unmatched potential.
The sense of possibility is undeniable from the moment you arrive. This is an opportunity
you won't want to miss.
