WAHI-RURU= 'PLACE OF THE MOREPORK'

Wahi - Ruru, "Place of the Morepork" is considered one of the oldest privately owned residential properties in Christchurch. The original 'Sumner Homestead' C1852 is an absolute rare jewel in the highly sought after seaside suburb of Sumner. It is a beautifully built heritage home of magnitude (7 bedrooms plus self-contained guest quarters) so close to the sea & constructed of stone blocks quarried from Lyttelton, Welsh Slate, Kauri & Rimu floors with double Kauri doors opening off every downstairs room to the gorgeously romantic, covered verandah & lawn. This is a uniquely stunning family home with everything on offer, separate lounge & formal dining areas, 3 full bathrooms (4 toilets) & the children have their own set of stairs to each bedroom & study or playroom, with loads of secret hiding places.

There is a separate accommodation studio above the double garage for guests or grandparents & with a large section, two separate decking areas for entertaining on, large herb & vegetable garden landscaped with macrocarpa sleepers, it is both a stunning yet extremely practical & functional family home. With Olives, Magnolia, Pohutakawa & Norfolk Pine trees, hammocks swinging, the childrens play house plus a separate tree house ....... you have found your utopia! This superb home has the space for all, yet is warm, welcoming & just waiting for your family to live a wonderful life in this beautiful family home, mere minutes from the ocean, the village, schools & the abundant lifestyle that Sumner offers.

If you are happy to let opportunity pass you by, be prepared to wait, it will not be back for a long time.
