Designed by renowned Christchurch Architect Heathcote Helmore, this beautifully presented home has been carefully configured as two stylish, completely self-contained apartments - one on the ground floor, one on the first floor, each with an individual, cross-lease Title. Sympathetically restored to accentuate its delightful period features, yet with all the modern conveniences one would expect of a home/apartment in this sought after location, this is a superb alternative to conventional townhouse living.
Tastefully renovated and refurbished both upstairs and down, lovely big sash windows and an elegant raised stud create a welcoming, light filled living environment. Each apartment enjoys an attractive open-plan kitchen and dining area, which in turn flows seamlessly through to an elegant, well-proportioned living room - the living area of the ground floor apartment offers direct access to a lovely sheltered courtyard, while the upstairs apartment extends out to a delightful sun-trap balcony. Both apartments are configured with two double bedrooms and a shared bathroom along with a separate wc and laundry area on each level.
Set on an attractive, nicely established 752sqm section with two separate single garages, one to the front of the property and one to the rear, the garden is neatly divided into two halves, with the ground floor apartment enjoying the sunny terrace and front half of the section, while the upstairs apartment utilises the attractive, nicely sheltered rear garden. The property is zoned for Ilam School, Elmwood Normal School, Heaton Intermediate, CBHS' and CGHS. Whether you choose to embrace the property exactly as it is, as two stylish apartments, each on an individual, cross-lease title, or look to reinstate the home as one substantial family dwelling, there is no doubting the benefit of purchasing in this superb location.
