Overview

A Fendalton Original, Built to Last

This elegant grand home is one of the finest surviving examples of the Glue Brothers' work. It was built using hand-poured concrete in the 1920s - a construction method that has stood the test of time. It's a truly special family home that backs onto the park-like green fields of Fendalton School. As you enter the property, a central portico flanked by two bay windows gives the front a lovely symmetry, and the entrance itself - with its heritage floor tiles and a striking leadlight door - sets the tone for what's inside. This is a character-filled home with generous, well-proportioned rooms and mature gardens. It has been loved and respected by its owners, who have carried out sympathetic renovations to support a modern lifestyle, while retaining the home's original charm, quality and craftsmanship the Glue Brothers were known for. All bathrooms have been updated and the house was repainted last year. The stand-out addition, though, is the outdoor room under louvres, complete with a built-in BBQ and an outdoor fire you can use year-round. This can be accessed via French doors from both the kitchen and living areas. A spa pool set into the garden under a pergola will stay with the house. Inside, rimu joinery and flooring add warmth throughout, while a chic white kitchen with a long waterfall island bench gives the family plenty of room to gather. Six heat pumps, a gas fire and a wood burner mean there's no shortage of ways to stay warm. Set on 898sqm, the property has electric gates and an extra-wide double garage with workshop space. This is genuine value for a growing family, and it's zoned for some of Christchurch's most sought-after schools - CGHS, CBHS and Burnside High - with Fendalton School just over the back fence, and the University of Canterbury a short walk down the road. Fendalton New World and the much-loved Bakermans bakery are also only a few minutes' walk away. Our sellers are downsizing now that their own schooling years are behind them.
