This handsome, eye-catching residence began life in 1905 as a pretty villa before being altered and extended in 1919 under the influence of American architects resulting in a most appealing 'Arts and Crafts' style with signature steep gables and glorious use of timber throughout. Aficionados of character will have much to applaud here. Splendidly restored in recent years, there is exquisite attention to detail inside and out. Set on 1257sqm of established garden and lush green lawn, formal plantings of Maple, roses, hedging and Rhododendron in the front, compliment more casual natives at rear. The wrap-around verandah with lustrous kwila underfoot, embraces on all sides and most rooms downstairs open onto here, including a study by the front door.
Inside, vast spaces with extra high stud offer a selection of living and sleeping on both levels, all with vistas of the garden beyond. A magnificent farm-style kitchen holds court at the heart of the home with cedar bifolds opening to the north and west and the privacy of the rear garden. Original oak and rimu paneling glows warmly throughout, embellished by opulent chandeliers and Tiffany glass shades.
Neighbouring all the attractions of our iconic Port Hills, this location is always in demand with geographic, retail, and academic drawcards. This peaceful treed street is in the heart of a flourishing 'café society', and for those concerned with schooling, Thorrington Primary is a four-minute walk, and then on to the highly regarded Cashmere High.
Our serious sellers have retired and are moving to Nelson. Good fortune for buyers seeking a big quality home before Christmas!
