Overview

Unique Urban Abode

* To download the Information Pack, copy and paste the URL into your web browser http://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/L47195961 Designed by renowned Christchurch architect Peter Beaven, St Mary's Apartments is a distinctive inner-city development that has stood the test of time. This architecturally distinctive complex reflects Beaven's interest in timeless design, combining historical references with robust materials and enduring architectural forms. Arranged around two landscaped quadrangles, the development has a character all its own. Its exposed masonry blockwork and pitched roofs create a distinctive architectural identity, while the private communal gardens provide a tranquil environment rarely found so close to the city centre. Unit 23 is an appealing ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment offering approximately 60m² of comfortable, low-maintenance living in a secure and private setting. Thoughtfully laid out, the apartment features open-plan living and dining, a well-appointed kitchen, a generously sized bedroom and an ensuite bathroom. One of the apartment's highlights is the north-facing patio at the front, providing a sheltered outdoor retreat and a lovely spot to enjoy a morning coffee, relax in the sunshine or extend your living space outdoors. There is also the added bonus of a small rear terrace accessed directly from the bedroom, offering a second outdoor space and an alternative connection to the surrounding greenery. Practicality is equally well catered for, with the added security of a walled and gated complex, plus the convenience of a secure underground car park and dedicated storage area. An excellent option for anyone seeking easy-care living, privacy and security, with the added benefit of two outdoor spaces. Positioned within Christchurch's Four Avenues, the location makes inner-city living particularly convenient. The CBD, cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday amenities are all within easy walking distance. The popular Victoria Street precinct offers an excellent choice of dining and entertainment, while Edgeware provides further shopping and local amenities. Whether you are looking for an affordable city pad, a convenient lock-and-leave base or an investment opportunity, Unit 23 offers the chance to own in a secure, well-regarded development with an architectural pedigree and a particularly appealing north-facing outdoor space. Purchased as an investment almost twenty years ago, our sellers have enjoyed a reliable and income stream but are now ready to pass on this unique property to its next owner.
