After more than half a century in this elite street our remarkable 90-year-old owner is moving just around the corner into an apartment in Holly Lea Village.
Having raised a family in the large character home next door, 38 years ago the family commissioned John Trengrove, Architect, to design this smaller abode on a parcel of their land. His brief was to create a classic and elegant home celebrating the garden to the north, down to the meandering Waimairi Stream, and extra large (4 car) garaging/workshop space. Three decades on, the house still exudes charm and good taste with beautifully proportioned rooms, wonderful storage and many practical features sometimes missing in modern design. A large and graceful living room opening to a terrace and the garden, is at the heart of the house, perfect for family gatherings. An intimate 'snug' adjacent, is the obvious choice for daily living with easy access to both kitchen and garden. Upgraded in the new millennium, the kitchen has parquet flooring and a plethora of drawers and cupboards. The master bedroom suite is downstairs with double glazing and a delightful outlook. The two second storey bedrooms and bathroom are also well sized rooms with a lovely aspect to the north and garden. This is a private and secluded 795sqm rear site with an expansive north aspect and an attractive established garden with significant plantings including various species of rhododendron, kowhai and a splendid silver pear. There is even a very old 'Deans Oak' over the boundary marking a border of the first Deans farm at Riccarton Bush! Although there has been consistent upgrading and devoted maintenance over the years, there is a very real opportunity here for a new owner to improve and rejuvenate to create a more modern style on this convenient footprint. Whatever the choice, this is an affordable prospect to secure a hard to surpass Fendalton land parcel and a classic well-built home.
Long entrenched in this enduringly popular location, our owner isn't going far, but the instructions are very clear. The property must pass to another custodian, hopefully for a second bout of longevity.
