This timeless brick and cedar home designed by the late and great, Don Donnithorne, Architect, has undergone an entire rejuvenation in recent months resulting in a traditional but now fully contemporary home. These building materials have always been an appealing combination, not just visually, but as much for their enduring dependability. Buyers can trust this construction.
Situated on a freehold title of 439sqm, the property is set well back in a rear position both private and secluded. Already established landscaping has been enhanced with smart, new fencing and driveway. Planting around the property is lush and stylish with two rows of thick hedging making a striking impression in the sheltered, north-west facing courtyard.
Inside there is much to admire, testimony of the quality of the renovation. New cedar joinery doors and bifold windows, are all double glazed. Wide oak flooring, and elegant white shutters at bedroom windows, offset a fabulous white kitchen with an island bench taking centre stage! All three bedrooms are spacious, and the master could be either up or down. The choice is yours.
Location is enticingly convenient with so much close-at-hand. If education is a priority, then Burnside Primary is a three-minute walk, BHS eight minutes and University fifteen. The property is equidistance between Fendalton and Fendalton North Malls, both with great supermarkets and café choices. Cycling or Bussing around the city from here is simple and effortless. The international airport and the city centre are less that 15 minutes drive each.
Our Seller has made a move to Central Otago and has carefully prepared the house for inevitable sale to another. Easily maintained with minimal upkeep makes this a great option for retirement, however this is a home for those at all ages and stages. We urge your inspection.
