Locals say this is their very favourite house on all of Fisher Ave, and it is easy to see why! Street appeal couldn't be more alluring with an expanse of lawn and a glorious garden beckoning you towards a square front villa with a deep red front door surrounded in exquisite stained glass. This is merely a hint of what is to behold within!
This magnificent property, built circa 1905, has been in the same ownership for half a century, and is in two titles of 893sqm and 1128sqm totally around half an acre. We are offering 76 and 76A as one lot, and the new owner can choose to keep this splendid parcel as one or sell the back site for development. Seldom do we see such an exceptional situation in a highly sought after locality. This is a rarity indeed!

Both titles have superbly established gardens. Deep borders are brimming with Rhododendron, roses, and perennials, and fruit trees are dotted about. This is a garden paradise and one which we think will appeal to many families in the knowledge that their home is not only a family sanctuary, but an infallible investment for the future! Notwithstanding this, even without the quarter acre rear section, the house will remain with 893sqm, plenty of space for a growing family with a huge north facing front lawn and private outdoor living at the rear under the old walnut tree.

Impeccably restored over the years, our sellers have preserved and enhanced many historic features inside and out. Four panel doors are complete with finger plates and brass handles, and superb plaster 'roses' adorn several ceilings. Paddy Helmore, Architect, has overseen two renovations all with his famed empathy with this Victorian era. Pip Yeatman, Interior Designer, was commissioned to create refined and tasteful soft furnishings. Elegant French doors open outdoors to the verandas front and back. This is a house of graceful proportions. Large rooms with extra high stud open from the wide central hallway. The modernized kitchen family room is open plan right across the width of the house, has a log fire and heat pump, connects with the adjoining laundry and opens onto the back verandah to outdoor living. There is a dedicated office with a separate entrance, ideal for working from home.

In a neighbourhood renowned for a close knit community, local amenities are many and varied. Situated at the foot of the Port Hills 'playground', a location always in demand with geographic, retail and scholastic drawcards, this is an area sought after by those keen on an active lifestyle. Walks along the meandering Heathcote River could become your morning ritual. The legendary South Christchurch Farmers Market is a short stroll away, a true grower's market with the very best fresh produce every Sunday! If schooling is a priority, then Beckenham School is a full primary and close by. The property is in zone for highly regarded Cashmere High School.

Our serious sellers are looking forward to moving into their new smaller home nearby. This mouthwatering parcel of land and delightful villa is for definite and immediate sale!
