Step back in time at Shenandoah

This is more than just a home; its a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of Brightwaters heritage.

Shenandoah is recognised by Heritage NZ Pouhere Taonga as a Category II historic place, a designation that acknowledges its cultural and historical value. The home retains its original facade and period character while benefiting from modern enhancements and renovations.

Native timbers are used throughout, with cubby holes and hidden nooks that reflect a bygone era. The windows have been retrofitted with double glazing to preserve the timber joinery and honour the villas architectural integrity. The current office, garage, and laundry area were originally the stables, adding another layer to the propertys rich narrative.

The charming two-storey, gabled villa is complete with four double bedrooms, including a master with a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish modernised family bathroom with separate toilet.

Enjoy the open-plan kitchen and dining area where when the current owners purchased, burn marks on the timber where pots once hung above a wood-fired stovewere still present. There is a cozy separate lounge with French doors to the veranda which overlooks the quaint gardens. To keep the home warm year-round there is a ducted heating system with wifi controls.

The 1,098sqm section, boasts beautiful cottage gardens with veges beds, an outdoor bath, a chicken coop, and a garden shed. The large shed has a workshop space and a sleepout/office upstairs.

Stroll down to the local Four Square or enjoy a drink and a meal at the Sprig and Fern Tavern both just a few hundred meters from your front door. Brightwater school is a short walk away and Richmond centre a 12 minute drive!
