17 Hawkesbury Ave, Merivale, Christchurch City, Canterbury

PLEASE NOTE THIS PROPERTY IS NOW UNDER CONTRACT AND ALL VIEWINGS CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE....Yes, long live the villa! Gorgeous, original olde worlde charm blends deliciously with modern warmth and convenience for the perfect combination in a coveted Merivale position. The kitchen/family/living here is the piece-de-resistance, with the ultimate flow spilling out onto the generous north-facing patio. Connection is key and you can feel the family laughter from years gone by resonating in the walls. It really does have that special indefinable feeling of home that you just want to sit with and enjoy. Before you start worrying about draughts and Christchurch winters; relax - double-glazing has been sensitively fitted whilst retaining original and fully functioning sash windows. Modern insulation is a new addition under the floors and the ceilings are well-batted. Natural light floods the hallway with clever use of sky-lighting. Bi-folds, french doors and verandah access abounds, bringing the outdoors in at every turn.

With Christchurch Girls and Boys high zones under-pinning your value, there's not too much to hesitate about here.
