The Gardener Goes to Akaroa!

* To download the Information Pack, copy and paste the URL into your web browser http://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/MVE7588

Our artistic, and talented owners, one of whom is the author of several gardening books, have newly purchased the 'Akaroa Butchery & Deli,' requiring a move to the Peninsula and the relinquishing of their, not quite fully realized, dream project. What they have completed here is utterly charming and presents a genuinely affordable prospect for a lucky family. This charismatic and captivating villa is as beautiful as those found in Merivale or Ponsonby, but at a mere fraction of the price!

All the characteristics are here to impress aficionados of the era, including verandahs front and rear, big bay windows, a wide central hallway, timber features, register grates, extra wide skirting boards and a 3.3m high stud. Layout is ideal with big bedrooms at the front capturing morning sun, and kitchen living at the rear, facing north-west and opening out onto the verandah and garden.
It is here in the garden of this 661sqm plot where we think you might just fall in love! A glorious accomplishment, a 'tour de force' by our clever owner unfolds before you in a series of borders, largely perennial, weaving gracefully between lush lawn. This is a garden that rises and falls with the seasons, quite simply a divine oasis where even those not so green fingered cannot fail to be impressed! The 'stacked' vegetable garden is a visual feature in itself!
There is much more here than a pretty garden, however.

A picturesque studio converted from an old single garage, is fully lined, and will appeal for a multitude of uses. Perhaps a home business or a teenage haven? The living room has a Woodsman, ultra-low emissions, wood burner, and a heat transfer system keeping the whole house cosy, even on our bleakest winter days. The property is securely fenced and has attractive iron gates at the front.
We urge your early inspection of this most alluring property. Almost on the border with Avonside, equidistance between the CBD and the sea, we seldom have anything as seductive in this truly affordable price range, well within the reach of first home buyers and those on a limited budget. Come and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed!
