47 years in one property speaks volumes, not just for the charming classic house itself, but for this singular street, almost disguised, in the heart of our most esteemed suburb. Slipping off Fendalton Road and ending at the Wairarapa Stream and Jeffreys Reserve, residents are close to everywhere but in their own confines.
Forever favoured by families, generations of children have walked this street through to Fendalton Open Air School, a bastion of fine learning for the very young. Proximity to all our most distinguished secondary schools and tertiary institutions, almost equidistance between the CBD and the Airport and within walking distance of a wonderful New World supermarket, boutique shops and of course the famed 'Bakermans', all add to the formidable reputation of this celebrated locale.
Our current owners have been faithful custodians for almost five decades, enlisting the skills of Chris Wilson, Architect, some years ago to create an extension to the kitchen and an Artist's studio. These are glorious light filled spaces, virtually inside the garden!
Other rooms are capacious with three living areas and big bedrooms upstairs, but undeniably overdue upgrading and betterment. For those eager to view this rare offering, there may very well be a dilemma. Renovate within the existing home or start afresh with a new build? Certainly, the 830sqm site is worthy of either option with spectacular established trees including an Elm forming a magnificent canopy over the rear garden and a very pretty Pear amid an herbaceous border close to the street.
Our Sellers have certainly had their fair share here and are in the process of building a new home in Wanaka where they intend spending their retirement years. We believe this is an affordable, but infrequent, opportunity for a family secure a top Fendalton address. Come and see what you think!
