This much admired & meticulously maintained character home may just steal your heart.

A treasured family residence that has shaped many happy memories for our current family for over 10 years. However, with the off-spring having flown the coop a downsize is now needed.

Filled with natural light and an abundance of beautifully restored original character features, balanced by modern conveniences, this property offers a sense of space, warmth and privacy.

Situated in the quiet end of a much desired street, this picturesque home and garden offers peace & tranquillity in close proximity to Merivale and the CBD. Desirably zoned to meet all educational needs including Paparoa, Heaton, Christchurch Boys & Girls High and with St Andrews, St Margaret's and Rangi Ruru nearby.

The separate kitchen, plus inter-connecting dining & lounge is both generous & welcoming for entertaining. Comfort is assured throughout with heatpump, compliant log burner, full underfloor, ceiling and wall insulation, hall nite-store and a continuous gas hot water system. There are four bedrooms in total, three large doubles plus a single, with modern bathrooms providing amenities on both levels. A walk-in pantry adjacent to the kitchen, plus separate laundry all offer plenty of storage.

The real bonus of this family property is the large rumpus-room/office above the garaging. The owners five children have enjoyed numerous kiddie and teenage birthday parties in this wonderful space, close enough for parental supervision yet offering separation and privacy on a secure section aided by the automated gate.

Oozing street appeal and surrounded by landscaped gardens & grounds including a private sunny courtyard, make this environment an entertainer's delight.

Come and explore, but be warned ... you WILL fall in love.
