Fine City House... On the Park

Nestled in a prime position in an exclusive lane, overlooking Hagley Park there will be no compromising on space if you choose to live so close to the city.

A fine classic style home of approximately 284sqm on its own section of 600sqm. A home with a distinctive country feel, in contrast to the modern architecture currently to the fore, designed to embrace the park outlook and maximise the sun. Completed in 2001 and built with a solid concrete construction method.

The impressive formal entrance opens through to the spacious living rooms and kitchen. The kitchen has great storage, under-tile heating, granite bench-tops and an outlook to the leafy garden. A delightful informal gathering place for friends the dining, kitchen and adjoining casual living area open to the terrace and garden. The formal living opens to the tiled terrace where you can reminisce those balmy summer evenings you enjoyed in Italy. With a pizza oven, gas fire and electric louvres, you'll be transported right back in an instant.

Also downstairs there is a large office with built-in storage. With French doors opening to the garden this is an inspirational work or study space or a fourth bedroom if needed.

Upstairs there are three large double bedrooms, the main with ensuite and walk-in robe, which all open to a sun-blessed balcony, an ideal place to sit and admire the views across the park.

Heating is well taken care of with a gas fire, ducted heat pump and under- tile heating in both bathrooms and the kitchen. Double glazed, gas water heating, separate laundry. Large double garage with drive-through and loft storage and so much more.

Wonderful established garden with lawn, trees, shrubs and a potager for all your veges and herbs.

If school zones are important it is in ChCh Girls' and Boys' school zones and a bike ride through the park to Christ's College and Cathedral Grammar.

Prominent positioned and pride of place... a lifestyle to be envy.
