11 College Avenue, Strowan, Christchurch

An Artistic Blend of Modern with Character

Highly recommended viewing: This charming home offers all of the features that many buyers have spent months, or even longer, looking for. Exuding a contemporary flair which blends seamlessly with the character era, the popular location offers close proximity to the Merivale Mall, CBD and the sought after private schools. St Andrews College and Preparatory School is just a short walk to the corner and across the street! Sitting proudly in a small avenue of executive homes the enticing street presence belies what unfolds when you enter through the beautiful, wood-panelled foyer. The traditional charm and warm ambience of the 1920's blends seamlessly with the new, contemporary decor. Extended, extensively upgraded and renovated in 2009 by an architectural designer teamed with 'Character Homes' this house now conforms to modern day standards including heating and insulation, right through to wiring and plumbing. Award winning designer Davinia Sutton has styled a sleek, spacious kitchen allowing an easy transition through to the combined, informal living plus dining area. This in turn leads through French doors to the picturesque rear yard and sheltered patio with a pergola complete with wisteria. A separate formal lounge and an office are positioned off the main foyer further accommodating a busy family and/or work-from-home lifestyle. Two luxurious bathrooms boast a European influence and service this sunny, four bedroom (one downstairs) home very well. The attached, internal-entry double garage has a drive-thru facility allowing extra vehicle storage within the fully fenced and secure 562sqm site. This desirable location is also close to the Elmwood Shopping Village, Northlands Mall plus a myriad of health facilities, cafes and restaurants and is a short drive to the International Airport. Zoned for Christchurch Boys High School, Heaton Intermediate and Waimairi School.
