A home which defines "grandeur", offering a glimpse into the historic past of the elite within the Christchurch landscape. Showcasing Kauri flooring, large sash windows, marble fireplaces, original detailing, and an elegant, curved staircase, complete with wreathed handrail and cast-iron balusters which is a focal point of the entrance and believed to be one of three imported from England.
Originally built in 1879 for Bank of New Zealand managers, as you may expect no expense was spared and that was certainly the case when the property went through a complete overhaul and restoration several years ago.
