3 Deans Avenue, Riccarton, Christchurch
Quintessential Christchurch Character
It's so easy to understand why the current owners have loved living here for the past 45 years. The enduring charm of this character home combined with one of the most desirable locations in Christchurch....a 986sqm corner site at the gateway of a cul-de-sac leading to Riccarton House and Riccarton Bush. Christchurch Farmers Market, Sunday Artisan Market and native bush walk virtually on your doorstep.
Reluctantly the time has come to downsize and take the family memories with them.
Primo location, a short picturesque walk or drive to Westfield shopping precinct, with its restaurants, cafes, bars and movie theatres and in Christchurch Girls' and Boys' High zones, Ilam Primary and the University. Or meander through Riccarton Bush to Hagley Park.
Fastidiously maintained, modernised and extended over the years to accommodate the needs of a growing family, whilst still retaining the classic features of a bygone era. Pretty lead light windows, wood panelling, French doors.
Four double bedrooms, one in a separate wing with adjoining living/rumpus/office which has French doors opening to the garden. Ideal for teenagers, dependent family member or a work from home scenario.
Two adjoining living rooms, which can be closed off with French doors. Formal living with a heatpump, family living with a pellet fire. Delightful sunroom which opens to the garden.
Light, bright, modernised kitchen with breakfast bar overlooking the garden.
Two bathrooms, separate laundry. Double garage and plenty of off-street parking.
All of this nestled in a beautiful English style garden with spring flowers, roses and rhododendrons, established trees and camelias..and room for a vege garden.
New family memories start here.
