2/89 Winchester Street, Merivale, Christchurch, Canterbury

This gorgeous mid-century townhouse offers a charming slice of the Merivale lifestyle just 400 metres from Merivale Mall. A north-facing aspect, charming outdoor living and brick construction add up to an exciting find for a wide range of buyers, while excellent school zoning and proximity to private schools will be an advantage for families. Sharing just one wall (the garage) is a plus, as is off-street parking for two cars.

Lovely, open-plan living and dining faces north for sun and light, and is beautifully spacious with a cosy gas fire. Classic mid-century features include built-in cabinetry and colonial style windows framing French doors that open out to a flagstone terrace and outdoor living sheltered by mature hedging. The adjoining kitchen still retains some original cabinetry and offers a good-sized footprint for future upgrades. Direct access out to a rear utility area ensures natural light and fresh air. Two double bedrooms share a bathroom with shower over bath. A heat-pump and single internal-access garage add comfort and convenience.

Zoned for Elmwood School, Heaton Intermediate, Boys' High, Girls' High and Burnside High, with numerous private schools in the vicinity, the options here are endless. Little Hagley Park is less than 1 km away, while the central city is a short bike ride or drive, making the everyday commute a breeze. This is an opportunity you won't want to miss. Contact the agent without delay to view.
