This 'one of a kind' house is charmingly attractive and filled with character inside and out. Familiar to many, standing on a near perfect triangle, you can't help but notice the dark espresso coloured house sitting so prettily among glorious trees on the corner of Puriri and Totara.
Constructed around 100 years ago the style is reminiscent of the 'Arts and Crafts' movement with pit sawn Rimu timber board and batten, and rock detailing. Inside the personality continues, with rich honey coloured Rimu in joinery, flooring and panelling. Leadlight windows, many double glazed, have been preserved, and French doors and bay windows flood the house with light. Opened up and modernised over the years, the living areas flow, and a smart kitchen takes centre stage. Doors open to a sheltered terrace and rolling lawn where borders of Rhododendron and hedging define the boundaries. Huge 6x9 garaging has room for a workshop.
Set on 792sqm, the house has two entrances and faces beautifully to the north and west, entirely sheltered and sun-drenched. This group of streets named for our magnificent native trees are sought after for their quiet leafy environs as much as for their proximity to some of our city's best amenities. Westfield Riccarton is a ten-minute walk, and of course the famous Riccarton Bush Farmers Market is your 'go to' every Saturday! If schooling is important, the property is in zone for Ilam Primary, Kirkwood and both CGHS and CBHS, plus Riccarton High. This is a locale providing a great academic beginning and thereafter University is just a five-minute stroll away.
After almost twenty years here, our sellers are downsizing and have purchased a new townhouse close to the inner city due to be completed in May. Perfect timing for those buyers who have admired this special home from afar. Now is your chance!
