An eye-catching classic with options abound…
Designed by renowned Christchurch Architect Heathcote Helmore in the early 1960's, this beautifully presented home has been carefully configured as two stylish, completely self-contained apartments - one on the ground floor, one on the first floor.
Sympathetically restored to accentuate its delightful period features, yet with all the modern conveniences one would expect of a home in this location, this is a superb alternative to conventional townhouse living. Tastefully renovated and refurbished both upstairs and down, lovely big sash windows and an elegant raised stud create a welcoming, light filled living environment.
Each apartment enjoys an attractive open-plan kitchen and dining area, which in turn flows seamlessly through to an elegant, well-proportioned living room - the ground floor living offers direct access to a lovely sheltered courtyard, while the first floor extends out to a delightful sun-trap balcony. Both apartments are configured with two double bedrooms and a shared bathroom along with a separate wc and laundry area for each level.
Set on an attractive, nicely established 752m² section with two separate single garages, one to the front of the property and one to the rear, the property is zoned for Ilam School, Elmwood Normal School, Heaton Intermediate, Christchurch Boys' and Christchurch Girls' High Schools and is within close proximity to an array of private schooling options.
Whether you choose to embrace the property exactly as it is, as two stylish apartments, each on a cross-lease title, or look to reinstate the home as one substantial dwelling, there is no doubting the benefit of acquiring a beautiful Heathcote Helmore classic in this extremely central and sought after location.
Viewing is highly recommended and will not disappoint...
