Romantic and Just Gorgeous
Pretty weatherboard and concrete tile roofed home was built in 1947.
This house has leadlight and some small paned windows which along with the pale grey painted walls make it feel slightly French.
Perhaps this is because of some of the prints on the walls and because the owner lived in Aix en Province for a while.
The polished floor boards of the entranceway and bedrooms have been insulated with underfloor foil batts.
The front of the garden is a romantic and traditional garden with box hedges, beautiful plants and room for children to play on the grass.
Shingle paths take you around to the back of the house where there is a cute little playhouse and again more beautiful planting, including a fig tree and a maple.
Clearly this garden has had a lot of love.
At the end of the very sunny living area is a dining area that has French doors opening out into the garden. There is a gas fire in the living area. A new owner could add value by updating this area. The bathroom has beautiful leadlight windows, a Victorian washbasin and a chub.
There are three bedrooms, one of which is a single, but all have good wardrobing space.
This is a charming family home that will appeal to people possibly with small children who will love the security of the property, the indoor/outdoor flow and the close proximity to Avonhead Primary School.
Alternatively business people will adore coming home at the end of day to this haven.
Double garaging is accessed off Hare Street.

As a rookie joining one of New Zealand's most successful residential sales teams in January 1998, Lesley McLellan had a big reputation to live up to.
But not to be intimidated by the achievements of her peers, Lesley launched her new career as she meant to continue. In her first day in the job, she chalked up 31 listings. By the end of her first two weeks, she had sold five properties. Not bad considering it's not uncommon for a new agent to take weeks, months even, to make that first sale. Or that sales in Canterbury at the time were at their lowest. Even more impressive is that for most of 1998 and 1999 Lesley held the 13th slot in Canterbury.
Lesley's background before real estate was mainly teaching. She has spent 15 years involved in education in intermediate, international and private schools. She has two sons, James is 33 and Ben is 30
Lesley set up Peri Drysdale's marketing and PR department and had the privilege of driving the 2001 Clinton media coup. She left Untouched World to become the South Island Training Manager for Harcourts New Zealand.
Lesley is the Past President of the Friends of the Christchurch Arts Festival.
So what is it about Lesley that has brought such extraordinary success ? She has owned 10 houses during her years of moving around and has personally been part of 27 offers during these years! She has experienced lots of the pitfalls of buying and selling so can now be wise for you! She is a renovator, is practical and can visualise potential. She also understands the emotions of selling and buying, the process of moving on and moving in and of 'belonging' again.
Sure, there's dedication, commitment, passion, confidence, drive, honesty ... those are fundamentals no agent can survive without .Which is true to a point. But, as you will discover when you meet her, there's much more to it than that.
It's the H-Factor, the thing that says, above all else - honour your clients. Honour them for having the courage to place control of their most valuable asset in your hands.
Lesley will do everything she can to justify your faith in her.
