Steeped in character

Price by negotiation
Emanating old-world elegance amid a rural backdrop, this 5.2ha lifestyle opportunity is located on the western fringe of Christchurch, just a short commute into the city. Ideal for entertaining and family living, the traditional homestead is immersed in character. Constructed circa 1900; this villa has naturally received sympathetic additions and alterations over the years that have retained the integrity of the original home. Authentic charm and period detailing are exhibited throughout with traditional highlights including polished rimu floors, leadlight windows, panelling, ornate fireplace surrounds and a classic claw-foot bath. The flexible floor plan plays host to three generous size bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the second living zone could easily be utilised as a fourth bedroom. The hub of the home is the open plan kitchen/living and dining area. Keeping you comfortable year-round are the two heat pumps and wet-back log burner. An immensely inviting verandah lures you outdoors where you can sit, unwind and appreciate the many hours our owners have spent over the years creating these beautiful landscaped gardens with mature trees and an expansive lawn. With the new boundary fences underway, the acreage layout provides potential and numerous possibilities eg lucerne seed is currently being sown. Outbuildings include a trio of three-bay sheds, one of which has electricity, a double external access garage and another shed ensure plenty of undercover vehicle parking and external storage needs are well met. Vendors have received an updated independent valuation of $850,000 (LV: $500,000 & IV: $350,000). Enjoy life on the land with city advantages just a short drive away.
