Overview

City of Sails Dictates Sale!

This unique, fully furnished, apartment style townhouse is part of a Brooksfield Georgian Revival development of three facing out to Chester St. Unit 4 was created to occupy the space above the three garages, and forms a lovely, sunny, upstairs two bedroom apartment. With a North facing balcony right across the width of the building, this is warm, sun-drenched and light-filled. This is a most attractive design, complementing the symmetry and formal layout of the other three. The entrance is centred, shuttered windows are evenly spaced, and all is beautifully in proportion. Inside, bedrooms face East, and the open plan kitchen, dining, and living is really roomy with French doors opening out to the balcony. Kitchen joinery is very cool in royal blue with traditional brass handles and there is a 'Butlers sink'. Steps from the balcony lead down to an outside area with clothes line and where a separate laundry has been cleverly created under the stairs. This quiet part of Chester St East is leafy and tree-lined, almost park-like, and of course close to the River Avon meandering through the central city. Less than three blocks brings you to New Regent Street, Issac Theatre Royal, The Piano, and all the wonderful cafes and restaurants associated with these iconic venues. Just a few minutes' walk brings you to the wonderful Pomeroy's Pub, the home of craft beer and famous Sunday roasts, certain to become your local! Te Kaha, the new stadium, is a ten-minute walk, certain to appeal to purchasers with an eye for an investment. Our serious seller now resides in Auckland and has given us clear instructions to get her much loved Christchurch residence sold!
