Deceased Estate 1477sqm

AUCTION BROUGHT FORWARD: WEDNESDAY 25 MARCH 2020 FROM 11:00AM IN THE HOLMWOOD AUCTION ROOMS, 397-399 ILAM ROAD, CHRISTCHURCH.

In the devoted hands of one well-known Christchurch family for just over half a century this is a home crammed full of character, charisma and a multitude of memories. Although somewhat neglected in the elderly owners declining years, this is still a capacious and comfortable family home. A courageous family may be tempted to embark on renovation. Certainly this large stately residence has many appealing features which could justify this choice were it taken. But perhaps more enticing is the site itself which will surely hold much appeal to those developers and builders wishing to undertake a development commensurate with this desirable location. It would be difficult to find a more expedient position. This is undeniably a most prestigious address situated within a convenient triangle between Merivale Village, the CBD and the north-west, and with all our important secondary and tertiary institutions nearby.
Certainly able to be subdivided, new houses would sit very happily here. The garden is a marvelous wilderness heaving with 50 years evolution including several variety of pear, currently laden with fruit. There is much here reflecting the past owners philanthropic and artist tastes and an intrepid purchaser may be applauded for preserving some of this. Whatever the future holds for this alluring parcel of Merivale land, the history remains. We urge you to come and view this enthralling property.

School zones include: Elmwood Normal Primary, Heaton Normal Intermediate, Christchurch Boys' High School and Christchurch Girls' High School.
