Packed With Character & Potential
Singled out by Lonely Planet as "Christchurch's funkiest and most exciting post-quake neighbourhood", newly invigorated Addington certainly has become one of the new hubs of the city with a location (close to shops, cafes, theatres and the city) that's hard to beat. A short stroll from picturesque, tree encircled Church Square this beguiling character villa is packed with potential and is a great prospect for anyone looking to secure an affordable future in a popular location. Rent it out now, or simply buy for yourself to enjoy all it has to offer. A covered veranda out front welcomes you to the property and is the perfect place to bask in lazy hazy summer days reading a book, enjoying a quiet latte or just relaxing. Behind the striking, cherry red front door lies a charming five bedroom home where time-honoured character features (including bay windows, delicate ceiling roses and ornate fire surrounds with tiles) mix seamlessly with essential elements for contemporary living.
The practical kitchen and light-filled dining area flow effortlessly to a spacious lounge extension which features French doors that unfold to a sun-soaked, private and easy care courtyard that is well sheltered from the notorious easterly winds. The home is superbly positioned for light and sun so winter blues are kept at bay and comfort is assured with two heat pumps and extensive ceiling insulation. With a substantial lawn area at the front and expansive courtyard and patios surrounding the home, there is plenty of space for kids to play and for families to entertain. Fully secure and amazingly private, a single, drive-through garage (great for anyone with a trailer or caravan) completes this hugely appealing picture. Here is a timeless home in a great location presenting a terrific opportunity for landlords, first home buyers and families of all sizes.
