3 Deans Ave, Christchurch
Authentic European charm is abundant at this utterly enchanting residence that sits in a picturesque countryside backdrop, just moments from the water's edge in Purau Bay, on Banks Peninsula.
Crafted only two decades ago on a 10,685sqm section, this special home epitomises natural beauty, with its stream boundary, pond, thriving orchard, vegetable garden, and magnificent grounds showcasing superbly established gardens and vast stretches of lawn.
Visually timeless and generously proportioned, the home features classic external window shutters that contribute genuine character and are extremely practical. The interior is equally attractive, featuring ceiling beams, bespoke doors, timber floors, and plenty of little details that collectively infuse the home with character and charm.
Spaces for everyone, everything and every occasion. With a quintessential country-style kitchen and dining, large lounge and alternative dining, it's ideal for dinner parties and entertaining. The outdoor entertaining options are spectacular also, particularly the spacious, ornamental grapevine-crowned terrace that enjoys a sublime outlook across the serene landscape, seamlessly accessed through French doors from all the living areas. You can also unwind alongside the tranquil pond or stream, making this property a truly relaxing sanctuary.
Four large bedrooms, including one downstairs, which would also make a fabulous study. Two bathrooms, including an ensuite, and great storage. There's internal access to the double garage, and a number of versatile outbuildings, including an open barn for storage, a workshop, and a very cute 'She Shed'.
Located approximately 45 minutes drive to Christchurch city and five minutes to the Diamond Harbour wharf, and the ferry across to Lyttelton. Cashmere High School zone (school bus information available).
Where you live changes how you live... and living here would be a dream.
