Set well off the road and within walking distance of the West Melton township, this striking home was built in 1975 by the current owners. Private, sheltered and north-facing, the dwelling is well-sited to showcase its charm and enjoy the rural vistas. A light-filled kitchen, with picture windows offers integrated appliances and a generous amount of storage. The dining room opens onto a courtyard, extending the dining space to the outdoors seamlessly. The well-appointed living room and lounge are kept light and warm by double-doors leading to the patio. Heated by a nightstore heater, heat pump and insulated external blocks (except those that form the garage) the home is comfortable and warm. Wooden joinery throughout adds a touch of character. All four bedrooms have outdoor access to the patio area. Everything really does have its place here with the amount of storage on offer, with additional storage cupboards in the hallway. Completing the floor plan are two bathrooms, a generous size laundry with outdoor access and a separate office upstairs. With a built-in desk and wall shelving, the office presents a practical space to meet any work or study commitments from. Garaging is double internal-access, with the tree-lined driveway comprising plenty of vehicle turning space and additional off-street parking. A colourful and tidy garden awaits outdoors with an expansive lawn area and vegetable garden. The land beyond is subdivided into five paddocks, and the property is well-sheltered by extensive, trimmed pine tree hedges. Ensuring ample exterior storage, outbuildings include a four-bay shed with power (one-bay workshop with concrete floor), single-bay hayshed and a set of stock yards. There is so much on offer here within an easy commute to Christchurch City. Ready right now - make this property yours!
