A Grand Residence

Early Canterbury architecture produced some of the most loved properties in the region, and this property built in the 1930s is a superb example.
With an interior constructed predominantly of native timber and most of the original character features, such as the leadlight windows, original cabinetry and fastenings and ornate plaster work intact, there's a lot to admire here.
Grand symmetry, the gracious kauri staircase and fire surround and north-facing living are a great start to a home that, some 86 years later, retains all the grace and elegance of its origins while incorporating the contemporary refurbishment required for modern living.
Properties of this size and calibre, set in large grounds are all too rare and becoming rarer by the day, especially in this area.
Its undeniable elegance belies the fact that this is also a family-friendly home with space to spare inside and out.
The well-established, iron-gated grounds offer large expanses in which to entertain while inside the generously proportioned rooms have been gently enhanced by the current owners.
Five double bedrooms with bathrooms upstairs and down, include a main bedroom suite with walk-in-wardrobe and ensuite.
Large paned windows, a cathedral ceiling and the original sliding windows each adds a point of difference to the individual bedrooms, one of which would make a perfect upstairs living room or very large office.
With all this on offer there's still scope to continue enhancing this grand residence and reap the rewards accordingly.
If all these were not advantages enough, this superb property is in the zone for Christchurch Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and in close proximity to shops, services, retail and the iconic Farmers Market at Riccarton Bush.
