1/131 Innes Road, St. Albans, Christchurch City, Canterbury, 8052, New Zealand
Honouring the past while embracing modern design, this refurbished character bungalow pairs style with convenience, and is situated mere moments from the heart of Merivale.
Ornate windows play a prominent role indoors and provide a charming reminder of the home’s era, while tasteful upgrades particularly in the kitchen and bathroom, ensure this home is well-suited to contemporary living.
The open plan living area is superbly styled, with the exceedingly attractive, north-facing kitchen taking pride of place, showcasing European tapware and a socially orientated island bench. This central space also plays host to the dining area and lounge, with French doors opening out to the expansive deck and low-maintenance garden where you can entertain in comfort and privacy.
A well-appointed bathroom supports the home’s three double bedrooms and includes elegant tiling as well as a functional shower-over-bath. Contemporary comfort is delivered by excellent insulation, two heat pumps and an HRV system which are exceptional inclusions for a character home.
The location is magnificent and justifiably popular, only a stroll from Malvern Park, Meshino café and Merivale Mall, with zoning for St Albans Primary, Paparoa Street Primary, Heaton Intermediate and both Christchurch Girls’ and Boys’ high schools.
This property has served well as a rental but would be equally well suited to first time buyers who are looking to climb the property ladder in a perennially popular location.
