Charm, Character and a Total Surprise

Beautifully renovated to create huge living spaces, indoors and out, this classic 1920s villa retains all its original charm starting with the wraparound veranda at the front.
Inside the home unfolds into a series of large, sunny living spaces, with the main north-facing living, kitchen and dining areas opening to an outdoor room under a veranda that creates a third large living room. Formal lounge provides the sought after separate living area for all ages to enjoy.

It's a total surprise in a home of this era, with cleverly placed skylights throwing light throughout the home and double glazing keeps the heat in and any noise out.
The space and storage available from the kitchen with its floor to ceiling cabinetry is idyllic and the absolute bonus in this home is the conservatory styled office or studio off the main living area.

Four double bedrooms, and three bathrooms, one of each downstairs, and the remainder upstairs make this a superb family home, as does the generous off street parking, tandem garaging with a hard area to its rear for the boat or the car you've been threatening to restore for the past 10 years.

Set in magnificent classic English country gardens, with standard white roses within buxus hedging frames, deep borders and specimen trees, the privacy and serenity is complete.

Perfectly placed for all the delights of Hagley Park, Mona Vale, the Farmers' Market at Riccarton Bush and the shops, cafes and services of nearby Westfield Mall the property also comes with the coveted zoning for Christchurch Boys' and Girls' High Schools.

Hard to see how it gets better than this. Property ID: #FE5913
