Merivale
BEAUTIFUL HAWKESBURY AVENUE
- Coffee at Meschino's Anyone?
This
Merivale home is an absolute darling
. With new Carpet throughout it boasts 3 large double
bedrooms , two of which have ornate period decorative,
but original antique fire places. The master bedroom
looks out through bay windows to a delightful fully
fenced lawn neatly surrounded by buxus plants and border
gardens giving a formal yet friendly " Hyde Park "
appeal.
In the spring,summer and autumn this offers a wonderful
safe and private area for entertainment/ BBQ etc or for
children to play skittles or lawn crocquet. Overseeing
this area in the south east corner is an 80 year olde
English crab apple tree which provides an umbrella when
laden with edible fruit and a haven for native birds of
the finch family.
The generous lounge has a new Daikan which acts as a
Heat Pump in the winter and an air conditioner in the
months of Spring and summer. The running cost is around
5 cents per day.The all wool carpet throughout the house
is new and blends splendidly with the decor to provide a
"house and garden new look " appeal There is a new
kitchen open to the lounge Although the bathroom is off
the kitchen this has not concerned the present owners or
interrupted their very social life . Everything in the
bathroom is " brand new " including the stylish vanity
and associated fittings. The water cylinder is large,
partly set in the roof and partly in a discreet bathroom
warming cupboard . .
Entrance the house is through the formal front door with
it,s brass knocker or through the side " family " door
that inially brings you to a small open conservatory
style room which is partially open to the outside . From
this entrance one may go thru, the side door into the
house or alternatively turn right where a trendy laundry
room will lead you to a delightful old brick small
courtyard where you can" while the time away " for a
time in the sun or take advantage of the hydaline and
hang up those garments of yours !!
The property has a generously wide shared drive which
services a property at the rear . There is a compact
single garage At only .6 of a kilometre to Papanui Roads
Merivale Mall it is easier to walk there through Browns
Road and McDougall Avenue as the property at 21A
Hawkesbury Avenue is at the Browns Road End of the
Avenue and only 2 minutes walking to Merivale Court, the
South Islands most luxurious Rest Home . This is the
real Merivale..you are in the Dress Circle . So close to
private schools of St Margarets,Selwyn House Rangi Ruru
School for Girls and St Andrews the property is also
zoned for Ch Ch Boys High School and Heaton
Intermediate. Not too far away is the award winning
Motzarts Pre School . At the other end of Hawkesbury
Avenue is the famous sports ground Rugby Park and on the
street corner is the trendy cafe Machino,s Access to the
city via Springfield Road is only 15 minutes in peak
time and less than 10 min at regular times . One or two
minutes to Merivale Mall 10 minutes to Northlands ans
surpisingly only 10 minutes to the Palms make this area
the most accessible in Ch Ch Above all this is the nice
people living in the area , there does not appear to be
any rough people in this part of Ch Ch giving a new
owner the satisfaction of safe quiet living in Ch Ch s
most respected and desirable neighbourhoods .
The owners circumstances have changed and are really
keen to sell .The asking price is only $385,000 which is
a really low price as entry to Merivale . This is not a
Town House or not part of flats . With it,s own title
this makes the property very desirable
