Set high on Cashmere Hill in a quiet cul de sac, this well-established site has a fifty-year-old Kauri and is alive with birdsong! Secluded and tranquil, this comfortable home from the early 80s was architecturally designed by the late architect Alun Wilkie.

The home incorporates quality materials and craftsmanship with impressive hardwood beams, solid rimu and slate floors, rimu joinery, and high spec double glazing. A log burner set in a Central Otago Schist surround is a focal point of open plan living and keeps the entire house cozy in winter. Recent improvements include new solar hot water, a sparkling new family bathroom, and modern sympathetic lighting.

The home is clever layout with four generous sized bedrooms and a separate study. You can't fail to be impressed with the storage on offer here; landings, hallways, and extra cupboards, are all luxuries seldom found in today's new builds. There's also a basement with three separate storage areas, and a large shed used to house the family fleet of electric bikes and mountain bikes.

The property is positioned north and east, with views extending from Pegasus Bay and the Kaikoura Mountains, down Colombo St across the central city to the North Canterbury Hills. Set on 784sqm there is plenty of flat land, and a garden dominated by native trees but also with mature feijoa and lemon trees. Situated on the edge of Victoria Park and our Port Hills playground, exercise and recreation starts when you close the front door!

In zone for excellent schooling, Cashmere Primary is a two-minute drive down the hill and the local High School remains among Christchurch's most highly regarded. An affordable home for a busy family, this is a place where you can take in the views and listen to the bellbirds all less than 15 minutes' drive time from our CBD.
