Bought in 2005 as their "forever home" the earthquakes put paid to our sellers' best laid plans; we offer you this one-of-a kind project and a do-up-dream; a charming and loved large 4-bedroomed and 2-sitting room home and gardens.
Sitting proudly in Ranfurly Street it is just a stone's throw from Merivale shops. Built in 1899 by the bricklaying brothers Henry & Philip Soanes, "Soanes House" is a double brick Victorian villa with a Category I rating from the Historic Places Trust & is considered a "significant heritage item" by the Christchurch City Council. But there's so much more to this home than meets the eye; in 2003 an architectural addition transformed the property, with a modern rear extension and in early 2010 an elegant new designer kitchen.
Those with the requisite building knowledge will relish the opportunity to take this home under their wing and restore it to its sumptuous former glory. Given its beautiful "bones" and superb detailing, your efforts will be rewarded many times over. So many unique touches: Marseille tiles, gorgeous native Kauri and Rimu timbers, tessellated Victorian tiles, detailed plasterwork and original fireplaces.
Lovers of classic garden design will adore the quarter acre Renaissance style grounds designed by Ben McMaster, with the bonus of direct access to adjoining Abberley Park. The large double garage has been previously utilised as an art studio. It includes four large glass doors, and clear roof panels, allowing sun and light to stream in, so would accommodate a number of work-from-home options. You're also perfectly placed to enjoy the best educational opportunities, with sought-after zoning for St Albans Primary, Heaton Intermediate, CBHS/CGHS and Burnside High schools.
With our vendors now based in the North Island, our instructions are clear -auction day will bring with it a change of ownership.
