From the outside this house may look like any other 1960s stucco clad timber framed Kiwi house. That is definitely NOT the case. This meticulously maintained three bedroom family home was built by an English builder as his very own home and incorporates the standard of construction found in Europe but sadly very seldom found here in NZ.
The exterior walls are 23 cm thick insulated concrete. All interior walls are also solid concrete. This thermal mass construction keeps this house warm in winter and cool in summer.
Features include a brand new kitchen and laundry, good sized tiled bathroom with ceramic bath and separate shower cubicle, separate toilet, three good sized double bedrooms, top quality thermal drapes, new deck in sunny North facing rear garden with direct entry off kitchen and dining area, second outdoor living area with fantastic afternoon and evening sun being a North-West facing enclosed courtyard accessible from French doors off lounge, large detached 40m2 garage, generous rear garden with mature fruit trees (apples, blackboy peaches, rhubarb, feijias and lemons) and large vege garden with quality soil.
The house is heated with a centrally located European 8.2kw diesel fire which provides beautiful radiant heat and has lower emissions than any log burner. This is a house that retains heat due to the extra thick insulated walls which are of a greatly superior construction standard than any timber framed house. Power bills will be considerably lower than for a comparable house of this size.
Location: 10 minute drive from the city centre, Burnside High School zone, quiet oak-tree lined street amongst quality homes, just minutes from Fendalton Mall with supermarket and all essential amenities, 8 minute bike ride to Canterbury University, bus stop around the corner.
This quality home is now available for long term rental.
A cat may be permitted at this property.
