Overview

Character, Scale & Location!

Grand proportions, timeless elegance and an exceptional Merivale address combine in this beautiful character residence. Occupying a prized 782sqm parcel in one of Christchurch's most tightly held neighbourhoods, this substantial turn of the century home seamlessly balances classic villa charm with the comfort and functionality required for modern family living. Spanning approximately 250sqm across an expansive single-level floorplan, the home offers four genuine bedrooms, including a private master retreat complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, supported by a spacious family bathroom. From the moment you enter, the home's sense of scale and character is immediately apparent. A wide central hallway, soaring stud heights, ornate detailing, stained glass accents and beautifully proportioned rooms speak to the craftsmanship of the era, while carefully considered modern additions introduce abundant natural light and effortless everyday living. The formal living room is particularly impressive - a grand yet welcoming space framed by rich timber detailing, oversized windows and superb proportions rarely found in contemporary homes. Complementing this is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and family living zone where vaulted ceilings and extensive glazing create a warm, sun-soaked hub for entertaining and family connection. Seamless flow to sheltered decking and established gardens further enhances the home's liveability and privacy. Throughout the home, traditional character has been thoughtfully preserved while modern comforts have been integrated with care, resulting in a residence that feels both timeless and highly functional. Positioned within walking distance of the vibrant Merivale precinct, the location offers unrivalled convenience to boutique shopping, acclaimed cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, including Merivale Mall, Victoria Street and Elmwood Village. The property also enjoys close proximity to some of Christchurch's most sought-after schooling options, alongside easy access to Hagley Park and the central city. Character homes of this calibre, scale and position are increasingly rare - particularly those offering such generous family living entirely across one level. This truly special opportunity in the heart of Merivale won't last long - contact us today to get through.
