Opportunity Plus! This stately, century old residence on Mansfield Avenue, stands proudly on an extremely rarely found, generous Blue Chip location, offering 1536sqm of carefully manicured and curated gardens. While rooted in 1905 heritage craftsmanship, it delivers all the comforts of modern family life.

Featured in NZ House and Garden Magazine 2013 with interior design by Peter Lloyd, the home boasts details such as imported French cement for the foundations and hand cut timber dwangs, which has ensured she has stood the test of time. The entrance is complemented by the original stained glass windows and the grounds showcase large fine Italian urns.

Accommodation includes four generous bedrooms, three stylish bathrooms (the upstairs bathroom adorned with dark Italian tiles and a porcelain tub), and multiple living and dining areas. The kitchen, in a modern country style, features a waterfall edged granite benchtop and a deep window herb garden, perfect for the entertainer. You will find a separate formal dining and the family room with its modern Persian flair, adding warmth and sophistication to this home. There's even a dedicated office/ sunroom, ideal for work, play, or quiet reflection. On entering you will find a handy 'mudroom' for boots and shoes and a separate WC for convenience.

Rooted in character yet flowing with contemporary grace, this Mansfield Avenue abode is grand, yet not ostentatious. Surrounded by the lush gardens, trimmed topiaries, and a charming playhouse nestled within the wild-flower garden, the home is designed for joyful family living. The astro turf tennis court ensures year round-play, while secure grounds offer peace of mind for the growing family.

A double garage, garden shed for all of your toys, off street parking, gas hot water and gas fireplaces in key rooms underscore the home's blend of practicality and comfort. Not only that you are just a short stroll to the thriving inner city shops of Merivale, and most of Canterbury's top-rated schools, such as Selwyn House, St. Margaret's, Rangi Ruru & St. Andrew's.

The current owners have spent 35 wonderful years here, creating memories through three generations that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. It will not be easy for them to say good-bye as this 'Grand Old Lady' has gifted the more than ideal environment to raise children. However it is time now for them to offer you and your family the opportunity to begin your new chapter within a home secure in beauty, comfort, and timeless charm.

This is not a showpiece, it's a strong, welcoming family sanctuary, built to last and ready to nurture new generations.
