Set on a generous 1012sqm quarter-acre section, this 217sqm character home showcases the timeless elegance of a bygone era. The current owners have undertaken an extensive room-by-room restoration after purchasing from a construction company who relevelled the home following the Canterbury earthquakes, breathing new life into this architectural gem while preserving its authentic charm. Original features have been lovingly retained inside, and the outside still has the decorative wrought iron work, and the stunning original veranda. Inside includes ornate plaster ceiling centrepieces, and functioning sash windows with retro fitted double glazing. Sophisticated enhancements include exquisite French chandeliers, a beautiful French kitchen flowing into an open-plan dining area, plus a formal lounge perfect for entertaining. Modern comfort is assured with comprehensive insulation, central heating via wood pallet-fired boiler with radiators throughout, along with both solar and wet-back hot water system. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom layout offers excellent family living, while the covered deck provides seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Additional features include a separate double garage and workshop, ideal for tradies or hobbyists. With just one room remaining to complete the internal restoration journey inside, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a rewarding project. Whether you're planning to create your forever home or develop for resale, the potential here is clear. Being sold "as is," this represents outstanding value for buyers ready to add the finishing touches to what will undoubtedly become a stunning showpiece villa.

Honest, trustworthy and available

Steve was a great communicator and always able to accommodate us at the drop of a hat. Steve has great knowledge of the home he sold us and was honest and accurate with his advice. We haven’t always had great experiences with buying, but Steve was awesome! He has great market knowledge and was willing to help us in any way to get the deal done. We felt well informed and treated very fairly. Thanks for everything Steve!

Buying or selling a house can feel like swimming with sharks. You need an agent you can trust.

Steve's personal values of honesty, integrity and professionalism made the experience of selling our home a pleasure and an adventure. Through a relatively complicated sale, Steve had our best interests at heart and made sure we understood all the ins and outs so we could make the wisest decisions along the way. He anticipated the way things could unfold and advised us how to navigate the process and pitfalls, and we always felt confident that he had our back. You will not find another agent you can trust more to act fully in your interests than Steve.
