89 Chapter Street, Merivale - Christchurch City, Canterbury

This glorious weatherboard home is full of character and partially modernized, with plenty of room to add further value. A clever extension has added an internal-access double garage and extra living space, ensuring a generous footprint to comfortably accommodate friends and family. Situated on a corner site in a blue-chip neighbourhood, renowned for its grand homes and leafy streets, there is exciting potential for a beautiful character like this. Stroll to popular Meshino Café or Rugby Park, or drive just moments to a full range of amenities at Merivale or Northlands: you'll love the convenience of this location. An open-plan living space at the heart of the home enjoys a north aspect with French doors to the garden. The light and airy casual sitting/dining area is overlooked by a well-proportioned kitchen that's been updated to offer a wall oven and gas cooktop, with modern white cabinetry and timber counters. Opening from this room is a grand, timber-panelled formal dining room that leads to the rear staircase and main lounge. With French doors to decking that wraps around the north and west, this will be a favourite spot for relaxing and entertaining. A gorgeous big living/rumpus room above the garage and accessible via its own staircase, adjacent to the front door, or from the main stairs. With skylights overhead and a north-facing window, this room is filled with light and sun. Sharing the upper level are the bedrooms, including a lovely master bedroom with en suite bathroom and three more double bedrooms, plus a study alcove and family bathroom with corner spa bath. Outside, the 610 sqm grounds are fully fenced with sunny decking and a framework of established trees and shrubs, but there's potential to add your own landscaping touches. Zoned for Paparoa Street School, Heaton Intermediate School, Boys' High and Girls' High, and handy to St Andrew's College and other private schools, this might just be the ultimate family home.
