Some homes are simply houses. Others are part of the story of a place. This is one of them.
One of the original homes of Cashmere Hills, this charming two-storey home dates back to the early 1900s and bears the unmistakable architectural influence of the renowned architect Samuel Hurst Seager.
Step inside and discover the character of another era. Original fireplaces, beautiful timber panelling, leadlight windows and signature architectural detailing remain, offering a glimpse of the craftsmanship and individuality that make homes of this period so special.
Positioned on the hillside, the property enjoys views stretching across the city to the Southern Alps. Set privately at the end of a long driveway, it offers a sense of seclusion, space and a setting that is increasingly hard to find. A deck, terrace and flat lawn area provide inviting outdoor spaces to enjoy the setting. Bedrooms on both levels add flexibility, while a substantial solid-block double garage provides excellent garaging and storage. Adding further appeal is its position within the highly sought-after Cashmere High School zone.
Time and earthquakes have taken their toll. The property remains unrepaired and is being offered as is, where is, and is currently uninsured. This is an opportunity that calls for vision, careful investigation and a willingness to take on a significant project.
So, what will it be?
Restore and revive a piece of Cashmere history. Renovate and re-love a home rich in original character. Or perhaps start afresh and create something entirely your own.
A rare chance to secure an historic Cashmere property with a story to tell and a future yet to be written.
The owners have a new home. The opportunity is here and now.
