Auction 1pm Wednesday 8th August 2012 (unless sold prior)\n3 Deans Avenue, Riccarton, Christchurch\nBoasting a delightful street presence, it immediately becomes apparent that this lovely property has been well-maintained and cared for since it was first built in 1984. Situated on a gently sweeping curve of Trafford Street and sitting opposite to Dulcie Place the position has a wide, open feel allowing lots of light and sun into the home. Solidly constructed in bolstered Oamaru Stone and with a concrete tile roof minimal maintenance is required for the house itself. Easy-care grounds on the 553sqm site ensure this property will appeal to busy families or indeed as an investment property. Double-glazed throughout, the living area is heated by an efficient woodburner (with wetback) and there is a heatpump in the hallway for the four bedrooms. The kitchen is spacious, well-appointed and adjoins the dining room. A separate laundry and a separate wc from the family bathroom means this home is configured to ensure it is easy to live in and enjoy. Many options are on offer with the double garage plus there is another large single garage which could be a workshop, studio or teenager retreat. This handy location seems to have suffered minimal effect from the recent earthquakes and indeed it is difficult to spot any damage to the house. There is close proximity from here to Christchurch International Airport, the Bishopdale Shopping Mall along with the extensive retail district of Papanui. Recreational facilities abound locally along with a variety of schooling options. Family have instructed that this property must be sold and are looking for a definite sale come auction day.
