The victorious design of the 1920's resulted in villas such as this one, loaded with character and with charm beyond measure.
Set in a quiet, leafy Fendalton Street within large well-established grounds, this desirable villa carries all the hallmarks of its era, including its deep portico, original leadlights and brass door plates.
The use of native timber made these homes a sturdy build and included extensive wood panelling and built-in cabinetry, both of which has been cleverly incorporated in the sympathetic updates that make the most of the sun and light.
With four bedrooms, or three double and an office with a separate entrance, two living rooms, updated bathroom, heat pump, log burner and HRV system, you get the best of both worlds here...character partnered with comfort.
Coming up for its first century it may be, but all the original craftsmanship make it an ideal proposition for contemporary living.
The kitchen and dining area open through to the rear veranda and secluded ground and there's a separate laundry off the far end of the kitchen and a second toilet.
Set back from the street with double garaging, off-street parking and a useful garden shed, there's a lot to love here and it's going to win a lot of hearts before auction day.
Zoned for Christchurch Boys' High School, Burnside High School, Cobham Intermediate & Fendalton Primary.
Its location is superb, its charm evident and it has family written all over it.
Scheduled to go under the hammer next month there's a very good chance a prior offer will mean it won't make it to the auction room.
OPEN HOMES: Saturday & Sunday 1.00-1.45pm
AUCTION: Wednesday, 2nd November at 10am. Phoenix Auction Rooms, 88 Division St (unless sold prior)
