25a Ryeland Avenue, Ilam, Christchurch

Streamside, 1,148sqm rear setting

Joy and Bob transformed a horse paddock into their dream home and garden over 40 years ago. 'Our introduction to 25a was a large horse paddock; walking through an overgrown driveway down to a stream boundary. We were immediately greeted by three large beds of canna lillies with a background of roses and a large hedge, breaking the view of an enormous row of trees stretching to Waimairi Road.'\nNow it's time for new owners to create their own happy memories.\nVirtually unchanged from when it was built, this classic styled home offers a kitchen with cupboards galore, adjacent to the dining area. Two interconnecting living rooms with views over the lawn and garden through the large picture windows. A separate study/work/music room is accessed through the garage. \nThree bedrooms upstairs, two have access to the balcony, and a bathroom with shower. There is also a second bathroom downstairs. The internal access garage is double with automatic door opener, work bench and storage.\nWell established garden with mature trees, provision for a large vege garden and the Waimairi Stream boundary.\nEQC work is complete. Zoned for Burnside High, Cobham Intermediate and Westburn Primary. Jellie Park is also nearby.\nSeize the opportunity.
