Secure a Legend for Less - "As Is, Where Is"

Designed by Canterbury architecture legend, the late Peter Beaven, you might assume this distinctive property would be well out of the reach of mere mortals. However, buying on an "as is" basis gets you into a level of luxury and locality otherwise out of reach.

Inside, it's difficult to see where damage has occurred, however given the home's intricate construction the original owners and their insurers agreed that reinstatement was not economic.

With its blend of industrial and natural materials the home offers surprises at every turn; from the lavish basement garaging to the sun-filled double height mezzanine library this is no ordinary floorplan. The extravagance of living, bathrooms and sleeping accommodation will trigger many options - & thanks to its position within the heart of Merivale the 555m2 setting will always maintain its intrinsic value.

Current owners purchased the home "as is" several years ago and it has achieved excellent rental returns, however its continued retention is no longer required. We would describe this as the rarest of opportunities and - with our vendors' motivation ensuring the hammer is certain to fall in your favour - we recommend you hasten your inspection.
