Spend your Summer by the pool!

Proof that craftsmanship, character and charm does endure for generations past and generations to come lies in the comprehensive renovation of this beautiful Merivale home.

Set on generously proportioned and professionally landscaped north-facing grounds, outdoor living is very much a feature here with the broad decks, large lawns, a walled courtyard in old brick, and the inground heated pool.

Built in the 1920s the home has all the hallmarks of its era partnered with skilful renovations which provide large, light-filled living spaces, beautifully finished new bathrooms and 4/5 well-styled bedrooms across two levels.

This gives you all the room you want for living well, working from home and accommodating guests who, understandably, have no intention of moving from the side of the pool this summer.

Those looking for high ceiling studs, a solid build and thoughtful interior design will find it here, along with oak flooring, a designer kitchen with a vast expanse of counter tops and exceptional detailing and quality of finish down to the last nail.

Coming up for its first century it may be, but it's an ideal and very desirable proposition for contemporary living with every luxury and comfort incorporated.

French doors open the home up to the secluded decks and gardens within the fully fenced grounds while the electronic gate entry keeps children and pets safely corralled.

Set back from the road with internal access garaging, there's extra garaging or storage for precious 'toys' in the second double garage at the rear of this sunny well-sited property.
Zoned for sought-after schools (Paparoa St Primary; Heaton Intermediate; both Chch Boys' and Chch Girls' High Schools), there's also easy access to several private schools, public transport, and all the delights of nearby cafes, and the newly refurbished Merivale and Northlands Malls.

There's a lot to love here, from the long sun gallery on the second floor and a large main bedroom with its walk-in wardrobe and ensuite and the real flexibility of being able to configure all those bedrooms to suit your particular needs.

Rarely do two eras come together so seamlessly and with such an attractive result, so if this sounds like your kind of home, you'd best act without delay. Property ID: #FE7194
