Over a century ago, this magnificent homestead was proudly built by craftsmen to accommodate a notable local businessman. Since that time, the property and its surrounds have only improved and under the stewardship of current owners, the home has been refreshed and revitalised inside and out. Enhancements include rewiring, new plumbing/insulation, radiator central heating system and new flooring while the original leadlight detailing has been beautifully restored and preserved.
Lavish in both detailing and scale, the 345m2 home provides occupants and their fortunate guests with a choice of four double bedrooms, all ensuited, with a separate self-contained "boathouse" (approx. 100m2) providing yet more options. Entertaining options are equally grand, with a stunning new kitchen including a butler's pantry and living spaces which open out to a wide covered verandah just perfect for gin & tonics. Should you wish to take your relaxation to another level, the property even includes a hot yoga studio!
Location is the first tenet of good real estate and gently elevated above Akaroa harbour, our subject boasts arguably the paramount spot in the bay. The key features that first attracted Mr Thomas Taylor to this setting remaining blissfully untouched. You are mere moments from the waterfront, the magical pier and the fascinating melange of bars, cafes and shops, while enjoying un-obstructed sun, plateau lawns and drive-on access to great garaging, with privacy afforded by established trees and gardens. And the icing on the cake for seafarers is surely the boat mooring which accompanies the property!
Just who will be the lucky new guardian of this landmark property is still to be determined, but if you want your name to be next on the title then time is of the essence!
