Holding pride of place on its 986sqm botanical section, this grand weatherboard villa brings forward all the authenticity of its era, with the craftsmanship and character details that define its identity.
Framed by mature hedging and a procession of roses, the home’s architecture and gardens leave an immediate and unmistakable first impression. Guided by high studs, detailed ceilings, traditional fireplaces, a classic hallway arch and ceiling roses, the 286sqm (approx) layout establishes a presence that carries across generations, far beyond trends or time.
The U-shaped kitchen and dining room lead the social side of the home, while the adjoining sitting room introduces a quieter layer with its built-in study space. Each opens outdoors, giving the layout both definition and connection.
Also branching from the kitchen is a substantial lounge, marked by a sweeping bay window and a log-burner fireplace, delivering a generous setting for everything from relaxed evenings to full-scale entertaining.
Four bedrooms and two neatly appointed bathrooms form the accommodation, supported by a separate laundry. The master suite carries the hallmark proportions of the era, with an ornate fireplace, a large bay window, a walk-in robe and en-suite, while each additional bedroom has its own distinction, from garden access to skylights and generous storage.
Outdoor living is well covered, with a pergola-topped terrace and a centrepiece fire pit setting the scene beside the rear lawn, while a front-facing patio offers another aspect to enjoy as the day unfolds.
At 107sqm (approx), the double garage lifts above and beyond standard vehicle storage are the extras of a workbench and integrated storage or hobby space, accommodating DIY projects, household gear and day-to-day overflow. Additionally, the rumpus room upstairs adds another dimension as a home-based office, retreat, teen bedroom or third living option.
With leading private schools close by and zoning for Christchurch Boys’ High, Christchurch Girls’ High, Heaton Intermediate and Paparoa Street School, the educational offering is exceptional. Merivale Mall sits just down the road, and the city is an easy drive away, confirming the long-held desirability of this address with buyers across the spectrum.
