89 Saint Albans Street, Saint Albans, cntbry Iconic Character Classic

Pour the Pimms! This iconic character cottage has ‘Garden Party’ written all over it! With its classic street appeal, the gorgeous weatherboard home has seen the best and the worst of the last century, an architectural gem of a bygone era, yet one that remains highly sought after and desired.

Vintage integrity and contemporary form seamlessly meld to foster a harmonious and adaptable home. Painted throughout in timeless neutrals, the large living area spills onto the manicured north-west facing garden, offering private sunshine on a spacious lawn. Let’s not forget the soaring ceilings that add to the delightful sense of freedom and airiness.

Renovated within the last 10-15 years, the kitchen and bathroom are highly functioning and perfectly lovely. However, this is a home with exciting potential. Architectural plans by Young Architects are available for a contemporary extension to the rear of the property, offering prospective buyers an immediate project or one for the long-term.

A gentle stroll will take the new owners to the very centre of Merivale Mall and the shops, cafés, restaurants and bars that form this desired precinct. When location matters, this property ticks all the boxes. In zone for CGHS and CBHS, it’s equally close Christchurch’s prestigious private schools.

An opportunity not to be missed, this is a home of the past looking to the future.
