Once in a Generation Opportunity

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.
