Come Share Our Secret...

Tucked away down a tree-lined drive this charming, English colonial-style home awaits new owners.
Sitting pretty in an established cottage garden, it captured the hearts of our owners nearly 30 years ago, and they've cherished their time here, but now's your chance to continue the love affair.
Built in the 1980's by Replica Homes, in the style of a bygone era, but with all the mod-cons you expect in this day and age, including induction cooking and Fibre Internet connection, this robust family home, constructed of brick, board and batten, coupled with extensive use of Rimu panelling inside, exudes a warmth and charm seldom found in today's homes. Double glazed and well-insulated, the sunny, airy, and warm living areas (with 2.6m stud) face North-West on an L-shape design to maximise sunlight. Versatile living and sleeping options abound, with bedrooms on both levels, while the well-equipped open plan kitchen/dining/living area is sure to be the scene of many harmonious occasions with family and friends. The family room opens to a covered stone veranda, clad in purple and white wisteria, overlooking the private lawn and garden with pear, plum, quince and lemon trees intermixed with New Zealand natives and an established vegetable garden.
A detached double garage has a space above originally destined to be made into an office, but has been used variously as a sleep-out, storage, and rumpus room for teenagers.
Proximity to public transport and local amenities including medical facilities, kindergarten, shopping centres, Jellie Park and the airport enhances the appeal, while zoning for impeccable schools, including Westburn & Burnside Primary, Cobham Intermediate, Burnside High, Christchurch Boys' and Girls' High is another bonus, with the University of Canterbury just down the road. Don't wait another 30 years for this opportunity. Please phone for an appointment to view.
